When the Allies are attacking Axis on the left flank of Liberation of Paris, they are slowed down by the barb wire rolls. The best way to get rid of barb wire is by having the armor roll on top of it. But the problem with that is that it puts them right next to the enemy infantry in the woods, who can then roll 2D attacks on them.

One way to avoid one of those attacks is to place one of the Allied infantry in the woods right next to the enemy. See this pic:

So because of the rule of Close Assault the infantry at D5 cannot attack the armor. It must attack, if anything, the infantry at D4. Thus the armor is protected by the infantry. And because the Allied infantry is in the woods, they will be protected from a full force 3D attack as well.

Do you agree with this strategy? Why or Why not?
