Armour and it's conflict.

That's interesting DerAdler.

How do they achieve the element of surprise?

I suppose the choppers could act as a diversion, but wouln't you expect tanks then?

- Though I suppose if you're too busy with the choppers??

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Its not about the element of surprise. You just punch through as fast as you can and destroy anything in your path. The enemy knows you are there.

[schwarzpanzer]

I don't get it, sorry!

I don't think those tactics would work against armies like, say, Britain?

Surely, they'd be able to counter those tactics easily?

Is there a way I can read up on it?

[Glider]

This isn't my field but it strikes me as one of those tatics that depends on aggression and shock. If you hit them hard and fast, then its possible that they will freeze and then they are finished. The enemy may know you are there but not when you are going to strike and being light the Cav have the oppertunity to be fast.

Schwar, like you, it also strikes me as a fairly high risk approach as if the defenders are able to take the initial hit, then the attackers could be in trouble. From what little I know the Armoured Cavalry are lightly equipped and not designed for a slugging match.

DerAlder. Feel free to correct me, as I could be way off beam on the above statement. Just trying to think it through.

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

No you are exactly right Glider. The lighter units go in and hit you hard and fast. Shock you before you know what hit you. Then the Main Divisions come through the hole that you just punched through and wipe everything out.
