Or do what I do. Try to avoid contact, manouvre all the time, hit and change course. Don't let more than one or two squads on the same area for more than two turns. I find myself more in trouble against ATGM of the TA variety than almost anything else.

A lot of sage advise here. I would if possible, don't rush things and were possible (this would be enemy and arms deployed dependant) accompany your infantry with their vehicle (If Armed) in the same hex. This helps several ways, additional heavy firepower and a possible quick withdrawal. This could be another Armoured Vehicle if available. I have had some interesting success with Engineer Vehicles (plough-type) in urban areas.

I take it then these Marines are basicly a leg only force for the most part. IIRC the Marines have a Engineer Tank or two that you could buy in support that would excellent Big Brothers in your quest to lay waste to the EN Forces. I believe the M728with the 165mm is quite useful although be careful when useing HE as it can surpress your own Marines, leave at least 50m safety zone. She knocks down buildings with her plow nicely and it comes in handy in villages and urban areas.

In my expeirence the engineer vehicles I command get stuck a good deal when they try to flatten buildings (happens more often on stone buildings for some reason)

However I have not used them recently for this purpose and when they did flatten buildings it was not by design. More of a miss-click if you will.

So my question is: Do the blades really make it less likely to get stuck when crushing buildings into ruble?

Please keep in mind this is just a friendly question
Hopefully this thread won't get locked

Sincerely,

Engineer vehicles have exactly the same sticking chance when blundering into a built up area as any other vehicle.
