[GZG] A planetary assault as a wargames campaign



Given all the ideas floating around there seems to be some good ideas for a campaign of planetary assault in a Full Thrust or similar universe.

The GZG universe states that there were land battles between the Kravak and Humans.

I'd be interested as to the strategies both the attacker and the defender can take.

The attacker has the edge in technology (Elite assault units and all) but maybe not in numbers. The defenders have the advantage of local terrain knowledge and support.

I'm not sure that heavy armour would be that common on either side, its difficult for the attacker to transport and land and would be a very expensive luxury for a colony, so light armoured vehicles or grave effect vehicles might be the order of the day.

What strategies are available to the defender other than insurgency warfare? If the defenders mass up and try to go out and engange the attackers in an open battle they risk and orbital strike or are just playing into the attackers hands by fighting the war their way.

John
