Default Re: Ogre Missile Strategy

Best missile tactic? For a Mark-III use 'em early. Dead enemy don't shoot back. Time is your enemy. For a Mark-V things are a bit more tricky. Ogre's CRT is so bloody that whoever lands the first solid blow almost inevitably snowballs their way into a decisive victory. The best way to do this with a Mark-V isn't to use the six missiles to kill six enemy units. That won't do. What you should do is use the six missiles to blow away a flank of the enemy armor trying to surround you -- and then rush into that gap (and away from the rest of his forces). This makes his center your next threat and his far flank is out of the fight completely. Effectively, they've been utterly destroyed for a whole turn. The concept here is defeat in detail: you use the missiles to avoid his pile-on. This spreads his firepower out over time giving you more turns to shoot and him unable to get that critical mass of firepower he needs to bring you down before you can close on his CP.

Basically, with a Mark-III you use your missiles to whittle down his firepower. With a Mark-V you use your missiles to throw off his battle plan (to surround, pile on, and kill you).
