3.12: Offensive Mixture | [Back to the WarGuide]
With so mant units to deal with now, it is best to mix and match your attacking forces. This gives them more versatility, and can sometimes mess up your enemy. For instance, group smaller level 1 units in with some heavy hitters, like Mavericks, Goliaths, and Reapers/Bulldogs. Your opponent will mose definately concentrate all his fire on the larger units, which gives your level 1 units more time to attack, and do more damage. Also, create two attack forces like the one mentioned above, jam them and add in a few mobile radar units too. One maneuver that is not really used in TA, but should be, is having two forces come in from different sides. Also, I see many times when someone attacks from the same angle each time. Don't do this. It is a fact, that if you keep attacking from one angle, that your opponent will build up heavy defenses there, making it virtually impossible to break through. Attacking from different sides, however, means your opponent will never know where you will be coming from, and this 'stealth' is one of the best tactics in TA. This strat was basically a ramble on m part, but I just wanted to get this out. I get angry whenever someone pulls a 'computer AI' and attacks from the same angle every single time. Blah!
