Anti-tank

**Anti-tank weapons** are designed and used primary against enemy armour. Even self-propelled anti-tank units are less flexible and versatile than tanks, because they are less effective against soft targets. Also, most of them are equipped with a fixed turret, which makes them less suited for the offensive (attacking a tank with a fixed turret AT results in an initiative penalty to AT unit). But they excel in a defensive role, effectively protecting choke points from an enemy armour breakthrough. They are also much cheaper to produce, and so can be valuable assets in case resources are scarce.

* Anti-tank units are a mixed bag, especially in the early years of the war. Towed anti-tank guns excel in a defensive role, but require careful use and positioning in order to protect them from enemy infantry and artillery. As time goes by, however, tank destroyers come into play and the situation changes drastically. Well armored and powerful, they can generally take on enemy units with ease, even with the lower initiative they possess.
* To reflect the generally defensive purpose of an anti-tank unit, all tank destroyers receive an initiative bonus (+3) when defending against attacking tanks and recon units.

Anti-tank units are exactly as the name implies: units designed
to kill tanks. Their greatest advantage is their support fire
ability, which means that if a ‘hard’ type enemy unit (such as a tank, halftrack
or
other
vehicle)
attacks
a
friendly
unit
adjacent
to
the
anti-tank,
it
will
automatically
fire
back
at
the
attacker
with
no
risk
of
damage
to
itself,
and
very
likely causing heavy enemy casualties.
In such a situation, only one
anti-tank unit may provide supporting fire to the defender in any battle, and
anti-tanks may not support other anti-tank units.

Anti-tanks tend to be less
effective on the offensive, suffering from an initiative penalty if they attack
after moving, and generally poor performance against infantry, although
this is made up for by their considerably lower cost than tanks: if resources
are tight they can still prove a worthwhile investment.
