Dealing with the Infantry Peril

[gila]

I'm playing a small campaign RusVchina in MBT '48 though.

And getting those Chinese hordes that keep coming even after i've them bombarded them unmercifully many times with my atry they regroup and come climbing over the craters again and again.

But they haven't dealt too much damage with their pitful tanks {all destroyed) and multiple useless ATR's and are slowly breaking.

Let them come.

Low quality infantry can be suppressed very well by mortar fire.
Spread out your fire. The more units are suppressed, the more strain on the officers to rally, and the sooner they'll fail, leaving the grunts to rally on their own.

Keep machine guns around, but situated well in the rear. They tend to die a lot to rifle fire, it seems.

Machine guns, like mortars and ATG are teams. So the crew are considered bunched together and occasional hits (esp direct fire hits) will kill extra over and above what riflemen would have received. (Polish and other 15+ man rifle sections are also penalised for being bunched up somewhat).

Gotcha. It always seemed they tended to get hit harder. Very nice info, thanks
