What type of leader are you?

[Wimpola]

Are you a fast thinker? Quick reactions? Flank pusher? Or a slow grueling hand to hand brawler where attrition is key? Personally I am a relentless leader where I always push so that my enemy can't regroup and I always have the advantage in numbers, organization, and supplies (vital if fighting against attrition type nations like the Russians and the Japanese.)

 

[77Hawk77]

Flanker probably, Attack them on all fronts, all the time, don't let the enemy think his coasts are secure, make sure he has troops in key points even behind enemy lines due to a healthy fear of paratroopers.

I also am a great organizer, i can actually enjoyed making the must beautiful OOB for the soviets even if it took a long time, and did it without pausing.

Aggressive convoy raider.... I work in the submarine forces, see

 

[keynes2.0]

In a word? Inept.

 

[calebmarkle]

The best way to describe me would be reactive. I don't really attack so much as let the enemy attack and try to hold the line, but flank them when opportunities arise for a counterattack that could cutoff a lot of forces. France/USSR are more my type of play style because of this. Then I attack when the enemy is so badly beaten down I can just push the entire front and they can't hold the line at all.

Depends on the country but I mostly am:

1) Defensive
2) Wait for enemy to attack then I counter attack him
3) Huge fan of attrition warfare when there are no serious time constrains

 

[Axe99]

Try to keep them guessing - use mobility and whatever else possible to make it difficult for the enemy to know where I'm going to strike, and where possible always have some kind of reserve, so that there's the possibility of feints. Can be a bit tricky when outnumbered, but still possible.

I second this, I love the defensive.

 

[Heruure]

Holding back behind a strong defence line until i have built up a massive force and then i push HARD.
I love doing that in all strat games.

 

[Victor Cortez]

Panic.
Generally speaking, the first thing I do is panic.

im the third....

a defensive land bunker wall
strategic dismantling of production structures of enemy
air superiority on the battlefield

 

[Spockyt]

Grand strategist, combined with fast reactions, terrible at offence, terrible at defence.

 

[PlacidDragon]

For strategy games in general i usually turtle, secure the "home front", and follow up with spurts of aggression.

Well, unless i am Germany in HoI, there its just one looong spurt of aggression, hehe (still mindful of the defensive though..especially with the wacky AI we are used to, where Canada invades France on their own in 1942 with 5 divisions, South Africa 3 months later with 4 divisions, etc).

 

[WarPie]

Hungarian blitzkrieg machine will win! I won't stop until Moscow!

 

[Paladino]

I am Zhukov. Tons of casualties but I get s**t done.

 

[The_Meme_Man]

Elastic, and very stingy with my manpower. I like taking few casualties. I won't attack unless I have some form of advantage in terms of terrain, armour, or support. If a casualty count in a battle starts to approach 1000 for my side I pull out. If I am technologically inferior I just bypass as many enemy armies as I can to cut them off. Basically, the way I fight, my men can expect to survive.

 

[BBBD316]

I am a WTF leader.

As in where the fudge did the soviets get all these divisions from!!!! WTF the UK has landed in Kiel! And so on till someone burns the Reichstag or Neil's room.

 

[Otto of england]

I'm a highly aggressive leader prone to doing high risk high reward offensives. Generally fight battle where I pull far ahead of enemy in kill/loss but, I'm not afraid to throw units into suicide missions to secure an operational victory.

Classic example (in multiplayer as Germany) is when i dropped paratroopers to prevent french heavy armour from overrunning my italian allies as germany. The paratroopers traded 15:1 causlities (6000 vs 400) but the heavy armour was encircled and destroyed.

To sum up my general strategies:
Defensive: Either, 1) Sit on an unassailable position and then ignore it. Or 2) Aggressively counter attack the enemy offensive with the goal of encircling and destroying his forces.

Offensive: Find an operational weak point in the line (may not be tactically weak) and commit significant forces to puncture the line and then exploit the break through.

Strengths: Can basically break any defensive line given time to plan, keeps the enemy guessing, ties down far more enemy troops then ones I commit.

Weaknesses: Overextention, operational unit misplacements, overly risky and aggressive operations.

 

[77Hawk77]

Its kinda sad how many people are deffensive

 

[griffor]

i always preferred urban guerrilla warfare personally i wonder if we will have commanders who specialize in city attack and defense
