Building a Kampfgruppe

Organizing an effective improvised battle group.

Curated by Tronsoft Museum

Overview

A Kampfgruppe is organized around a mission rather than a permanent table of organization. The player must decide which armored, infantry, artillery, reconnaissance, and support elements belong together.

Museum Strategy Notes

A useful formation includes a reconnaissance screen, a maneuver element, infantry for close terrain, indirect fire support, and a reserve. The strongest units should not all be committed at once.
