Pondering Corner: A Place to Bounce Ideas of One Another

[Bpoli7]

I am setting up this thread to be a place to exchange ideas about lists and combinations of units, tactics, battleplans, etc. to better our understanding of the game as a whole. I'll start off:

 

What is your favorite units to run along side a Hero Motostrelkovy?

Try using the community card for the su76 formation and get about 3 battery's of 5x su76 each.  For their points, they have AT9 direct fire and can do bombardments, making for a decent all purpose light tank.

I have limited experience with Russian infantry so cant contribute much but I'm hoping to get some experience soon.

One of my "MUST BRING" units is the BA-10 Armored Car Platoon. It has Spearhead but NOT Scout.

After using it for Spearhead, it can

• push back the ambush area
• go into your back field as a cheap reserve
• threaten an unguarded objective
• duel with armored cars and other light "tank" teams whose FA (Front Armor) is 1 or 0. Don't duel with the SdKfz 231 (FA3)
• screen an open flank
• Screen forward in short terrain to limit or prevent a dash move by one or two enemy units.
• For 1, maybe 2 turns, pull AT shots away from your tank push (sacrificial role)
• Create one or more distractions or diversions if you don't overplay your hand.

CAUTION: Its cross is 6, so don't expect it to hide in woods or cross walls.

Sometimes, the best use of Spearhead is to grab a better piece of terrain or firing position just 1-3 inches in front of your deployment area.

I do really like BA-10s as well. I use a company of them to give myself a company commander for my Mixed Tankovy.
