RE: [SG DS] Tactics

Weedhopper, 

Plan on bad dice, overkill is not a bad thing.
Defeat the player, his troops will follow. (did this a few time playing
ACW)
Have a plan.
Keep it simple, but have a plan.
Oh, BTW, have a plan. (Most gamers don't plan further than the current
turn)

RE: [SG DS] TacticsNon-intimidation tactics
------------------------
Cover your advances with smoke. When the enemy can't see you, they can't
hurt you.

Fight with unequal forces. Don't match tank with tank, infantry with
infantry, artillery with artillery. Fight tanks with AT, Air with AA,
artillery with strategic weapon or air attacks, infantry with artillery,
AT
with artillery, AA with tanks, Strategic weapons with decoys.

Keep your moves opaque when near, clear when far.

Study Sun Tzu, in several translations.

Use hills for armour - it's stronger than the best armour your tanks
carry.
Use forests to hide - they're stealthier than any number of stealth
craft.

A river is bigger antitank trap than the biggest trench your engineers
can
dig in a day.

When near, be far away.
When far away, be near.

Avoid poisoned bait - it tastes bad and wastes your forces.

After taking a nuke, go home. Your opponent is sure to have three. :-)

One giant battlemech, while impressing the ruler, does little on the
battlefield, but attract pretty mushrooms.

Infantry hold ground, Tanks take ground.

Strategic, Planes and Artillery neither take or hold ground, but stop
Tanks
from taking ground and cause Infantry to leave.

Artillery runs out. Be sure to have big stockpiles.
Artillery gets hit. Be sure to have spares.

Battles are like tides, ebbing and flowing. Work the battle to your
advantage, attack on the flow and defend on the ebb. Then, like the
tide,
no-one can stop your progress.
