Overstacking

Now that the SDBE is 10 overstacking has been taken to the next level. 10 arty, 10 AA, 10 light armour units, 10 armour units, 10 infantry,... all in one stack and it is virtually unstopable. So how do you take it down?

It's the Caspian Sea, so it's more like an oversized lake really. Nobody has battleships there because it isn't worth it and that stack can simply march away from the coastline outside of your range. Then what?

Then it's unstoppable, unless you get the Nuclear Rocket.

Rockets are for static targets. That stack moves and even so, it would take a heck load of rockets to bring it down.

So I should now start buidling the required facilities, start the nuclear research. That will take days. Not to mention that i need to transport that rocket a long way which always poses a threat to be discovered and destroyed by the enemy.

What do I do in the meantime because the above will take me a week. Not to mention that even a nuke cannot destroy a stack like that entirely.

That doesn't solve all the described problems above, so again what do I do?

10 Railroadguns shall do the trick with some heavy tanks to soak up the damage.

I should probably change what I write in here. -No one ever

Yeah, I was thinking RRGs.

That's a good strategy indeed! Just need to be carefull that the monsterstack doesn't catch up as RRG is slow but as long as you keep the RRG on friendly territory and not in enemy territory where you move at 50% you should be fine.

Make your own super stack!
That would demand a lot of manpower stacked up together. It would also result in a huge battle with heavy losses on both sides. I was looking for a cost effective counter with the lesser casulties as possible. 10 RRG seem to be the best option. The disadvantage of a superstack is that it leaves the rest of your territory undefended and fast units can just run past it and havoc your provinces.

This is how I deal with that situation...

You need to do any of these steps

1. Use an army stack that has high damage output

2. You need upgraded units in the army (Your units must be levels above your opponent's)

3. Limit your stacks to 10 (Maximun units in a stack army)

4. If possible you need 2 or 3 ten stack armies to confront his super stack

5. Use artillery as support

6. Do not use aircraft (Especially if not escorted by interceptors)

7. If all else fails nuke that stack

Basing on that picture two to three ten full stacks of medium tanks should do the job. Why?

1. Medium tanks especially well upgraded can lay waste to such army composition. Basing from my experience, although I haven't faced that kind of stack before. My medium tanks always lay waste to superstacks especially if not upgraded.

2. Artillery will not help much in close range fights. Those artillery units will take damage as the fight continues reducing their effectivity and their hp as well.

3. 10 level 3 units of artillery will only deal 40 damage against your medium tank formation basing on its strength against armor class. Therefore those 10 artillery at a distance won't do as much. Even with terrain modifiers I do not believe that artillery will do as much.

4. Medium tanks always lay waste to light and medium units.

5. Level 2 AAA will not do much...

If I were to analyze that army it is weak against medium to heavy armor. Medium tanks can be made in large numbers easier against heavy tanks. Just make sure that your medium tanks are supported by artillery... Do not use Attack or Tactical bombers. They are too fragile!
