Make 'Em Pay for Over-Extending their Forces

Quote from wtm2 on 2025-05-31, 21:36It is so tempting sometimes to take one's armored forces and keep moving and attacking relentlessly, until finally they realize they are deep into enemy territory.
When the enemy does this to you, it is time to make them pay for their insolence!
This is especially possible in a scenario like Counter-Attack on Mortain. Because the Axis launched a massive tank attack, they can go overboard.
Take a look at this attack scenario. The Axis have made some successful attacks and have pushed their Armor deep into the Allied territory. They are on rows 3 and 4 in their attempt to gain the Territorial Medal prize at L1. But they have over-extended their welcome and their forces.
The Allies respond with a devastating General Advance card, and are able to mobilize six units to repel the Axis attack. The first two Infantry units are able to deal revenge to the armor, with successful rolls against each. The next two Artillery rolls, are able to take out one more Armor figure in the unit at F7.
Finally, two Allied Armor units are able to move to positions f4 and D5, preparing for a final death blow to the now single Armor figure at F7 on the next turn.
Making them pay!
