Do you mean AFVs instead of "squads"? ATGMS have never been a problem for my infantry, at least if they are not mounted up.

But dozertanks that do not blunder and stop and plow the building next turn are least likely getting stuck?

You are absolutely correct gila. A unit that runs over a building from a full stop is less likely to become stuck than a unit trundling at full spead over a building, but that goes for any unit.

Don or Andy can probably give you a more technical definition if thats what your after.

Sincerely,
Andrew Nault

Yes, of course.

Exclamation Re: Need help..

Interesting, I've had Armoured Vehicles get "Stuck" mostly from the driver being asleep. But I have never had a Dozer get stuck knocking down buildings, LUCKY I guess. Damn now I know, It will happen everytime now!!!

I don't understand why so many of you buy dozer vehicles lol.
If you find a specific building having strong resistance, destroy it from a distance or avoid it.

Because & I think this is what Panzerbob did we assummed they had less chance of getting stuck. Also like Bob mine did not get stuck so thought this was the case obviously we just got lucky though did drive through slowly followed by my armour.

Used twice in urban with only a couple of obvious routes available to make my own, 2nd time coming out right on his flank & chewing forces up quickly in a pincer move.
First time tried to get to clever as forgot opponent sees buildings flatten so gives away what you are doing.

Lightbulb Re: Need help..

Ideally yes, flatten the vill, however, for those times your Squishies are only separated by a building or two from your EN Forces sometimes a Dozer or Demo Charge is just the right tool!!
I have Dozered a building that was occupied, they died next turn if I had assualted it one never knows the outcome.

Bob me thinks you could be getting a bit to attached to your dozers. Your squishies conjurs up all sorts of pictures. Guessing your armour has little need for rubber track blocks prefering the organic type.
