Who says the I.G. are a defensive army?

from Lt. Col. Williams (KhaldonH@aol.com)
For all you direspectful aliens and astartes, I'm sick and tired of having the honor of my beloved boys stepped on! Every source book I read says the I.G. are defensive, slow to manouver, and about as tactically subtle as a hurricane. this is just not true! In my three years of collecting and playing with the big green army I have lost four battles out of 68. only two of them were defensive battles! I don't know anyone who plays any army who just sits and waits for thier opponent to pick them off with heavy weapons. Assault, Assault, assault! Take a nice platoon, and another heavy weapons platoon. maybee a gryphon to help em. this is your base. don't worry about them, they're gonna just sit in cover and wait for their armoured friends to show up. now you have a seccond wing, a sort of flying collumn for all you scholars of tactics. This consists of as many leman ri (is that the plural for russ?) as you can take, wich is two by now with the gryphon. also, a hellhound or two. (have you ever seen what two of those beuties can do? eeech) if you have pints left, take some armoured fist boys. my mechanized Draconian blue platoon works nicely for this role. all these happy mobile troops will race to the least defended point on the battlefeild. most armies can't cover the whole board, so you're almost garanied to have a hole somewhere. once your mobile wing starts to get a toe hold, charge with the ground pounders. This tactic has never failed me, even against my favorite opponent's four squads of devastators. for some reason, nothing can stop this tidal wave of troops, no matter what they take or do. if anyone doesn't think so, and lives in the NJ area, try me. All shall fall to the Impiral might!

Any other favorite tactics out there?
