	Human wave attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human wave attack is a military term describing a type of assault performed by infantry units, in which soldiers attack in successive line formations, often in dense groups, generally without the support of other arms or with any sophistication in the tactics used.
		What we today call 'human-wave' tactics were in fact the main tactic used by infantry in the attack prior to the development of skirmisher tactics during the Napoleonic Wars.
		The infantry attack may be more successful when combined with other supporting arms such as tank support, infiltration tactics, night attacks, flanking attacks, and so forth.

	Lone Sentry: TM-E 30-451 Handbook on German Military Forces: Conduct of the Attack: Offensive: Tactics
		The objective of the infantry is to penetrate into the enemy position and destroy enemy antitank weapons to the limit of its strength and the fire power of its own support weapons, augmented by additional support and covering fire from the tanks and self-propelled weapons sited in their rear.
		The infantry attack is conducted in the same manner as it would be without the cooperation of tanks.
		Attacks most often are made at dawn, and are preceded normally by heavy artillery preparation, one purpose of which is to make shell holes which afford cover for the advancing assault detachments as they move forward.

		In the sector held by the 30th Infantry the outpost line extended in an arc from the village of Carano across the open fields and deep ditches of the rolling farmland west of Cisterna to the stream crossing at Ponte Rotto.

		Infantry units can withstand only one, if they are lucky two, shots from this high powered flamethrower before beign killed; the turret is also capable of almost continuos fire and it's heavily armored.
		Attacking from the west is the most straight-forward option, and probably the best, as you won't have to deal with two AT turrets.

		Infantry casualties were relatively light during the attack, and not one Sherman was lost.

	TOAW Strategy guide: Hints, tips, and tricks
		In TOAW terms, if you can successfully fake an attack that draws large quantities of reserves to one end of the board, and then launch a decisive attack at the other end, you have dislocated a large body of enemy troops; this is great fun when it works.
		Even in a case where the 2 infantry regiments attacked 2 armored brigades, the odds ratio would be 2:3 for the tanks attack vs. the infantry, where the infantry attacks against the tank are at 2:1.
		When it is attacked, your powerful tactical reserves enter combat, potentially surprising the opponent, causing excess casualties in the attack, and taking a lot of the opponent’s time for the turn.

	Battlefront.com Discussion Forums: Infantry Attacks across open ground.
		Infantry goes first because it is expendable, relatively robust when rally is taken into account, and creates a threat that tends to make defenders fire, because its power grows as it closes.
		If the infantry just charges, trying to cross the gap as rapidly as possible, pushed as hard as possible, its morale is so low it will be scattered to the winds.
		Infantry units advancing across open ground against such weapons is often virtually suidal.

		Infantry Attacks, a tactical primer based on his combat experiences in World War I. Of its many lessons on small-unit combat, the book is especially clear on suppression in support of the assault.
		One of the strengths of mechanized infantry is that in addition to mobility, the unit carries significant organic firepower.
		The attack by a well-trained mechanized infantry unit should place a small assault element against a vulnerable penetration point, supported by the overwhelming firepower of a vehicle-mounted suppression element.

		Use the Submarine and one Fighter to attack the German Baltic fleet (one Sub and one Transport).
		The USSR will still have 10 Infantry to place on Russia the next turn and so repel any future attack because by this time the UK fleet will be together and large enough to transport six Infantry per turn into (now empty) Finland-Norway and thus harass Germany from the west and relieve Karelia.
