Default Re: Best way to use airmobile and panzergrenadiers

Interesting idea about using infantry offensively, C of Red. The only problem is that infantry are soo easy to pin down using artillery or machine guns. And if the infantry get too close, then the tank can just run away while the artillery and MGs continue to attrit them.

The airmobile assault that you mentioned is pretty expensive- 500-800 points for a single assault helo and maybe 100-300 for the transports adds up to a 2,000 pt. + assault force, not even counting the infantry you're carrying. In most battles, it wouldn't be worth it. And I think I know the counter you're talking about- buy a whole bunch of MANPADs or something that helicopters have a hard time killing.

About the Iraqi farmer shooting down the Apache, that was just a propoganda move. In reality the plane was shot down by something else. Baghdad Bob just claimed that the farmer shot down the helicopter with his gun.
