Hello comrades, today i issue you a tactical and strategic dilemma.
Your nation (Nation A) is small, but well armed. You've good tech levels, a well balanced alliance with active players- yet skilled enough to act alone or together. Your small nation is needing to grow, and thus you plan to attack another smaller nation. This nation, Nation B, is a more conventional player: lots of cheap units and generally uses the mad rush tactics. Your over strategy is to take his production centers as quickly as you can, and thus you air force and ground units are prepared to ignore open ground to take these places.
During your invasion, you soon notice that this enemy had became well entrenched, not only in his cites but also around them. The fighting is hard, your air force takes loses in strike air craft and you have to focus on denying him his air fields further to the rear of his nation and striking his supply routes. After brutal fighting, your forces reach several of his cities: your SPA and rockets are in range, but he has made his cities a tomb for your armoured units and infantry. You know you can't delay, as he will be building more units as you speak, but you know that any loses you take during the city fighting will take days, if not weeks to rebuild.
So, from your perspective, do you dig in and start to bombard him from the air and ground, or do you charge your forces in, hoping that you will dislodge him and end his mass producing.
For my answered, i would bombard him for a day, then begin to invade. The new city system with suburbs (EG- North London) makes this sort of fighting risky, but also really realistic.
