Artillery Creep

An artillery creep is a quite elementary tactic employed to take reinforced positions in an economically feasible manner.

Units with considerable range are positioned to assault a reinforced area from outside general range of the defenders. These must generally be protected by contingents of closer combat units, up to and possibly including anti-air units. Jamming and radar in games which support these features can be highly beneficial, allowing for minimization of cost as the advance proceeds.

Pros

• Effective against emplacements
• Efficent with sufficent micromanagement

Cons

• Vulnerable to active units
• Requires attention
• Preparation time may vary
