To win with super tanks in SIEGE: World War II, hold your heavy armor cards until the match transitions into the Double Supply phase. Committing heavy armor during normal supply leaves your base open to cheap swarms and counterattacks because the slow resource regeneration prevents you from playing escort troops. Once Double Supply activates, deploy your super tank far behind your lines near your command bunker, then use the accelerated supply generation to queue infantry screens, fire support, and offensive tactical cards before the tank reaches enemy range.
Early-Game Defense: Surviving Until Double Supply
Your sole objective during standard supply is keeping your bunkers healthy through low-cost, reactive defense. Deploying an eight-supply tank in the first two minutes consumes your entire reserve and leaves you defenseless against fast lane pushes or tactical strikes.
Apply these defensive rules until the supply timer accelerates:
- Rely on static defense: Allow your forward bunkers and defensive emplacements to absorb incoming pressure and thin out enemy waves.
- Trade efficiently with light infantry: Use cheap riflemen or submachine gun squads to intercept enemy scouts, light vehicles, and foot soldiers on your side of the river.
- Save high-impact tactical spells: Hold airstrikes, artillery barrages, and heavy anti-vehicle cards for concentrated offensive threats rather than throwing them out for minor structure damage.
- Focus on a single lane: Avoid splitting cards across both lanes before Double Supply. Clear incoming pushes reactively before considering any forward movement.
Deployment Order and Unit Formations
When Double Supply begins, never drop a super tank directly at the frontline bridge unless you are defending against an immediate base collapse. Placing heavy armor at the rear of your lane creates a travel delay of several seconds. Under Double Supply, that window provides enough resources to deploy screening infantry and support weapons before your vehicle enters hostile firing range.
| Push Stage | Assigned Units | Tactical Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Anchor | Super Tank / Heavy Armor | Deployed behind the command bunker to buy transit time for resource generation. |
| 2. Screen | Rifle Squads / Escort Infantry | Deployed ahead of the tank to clear minefields and draw fire from rocket teams. |
| 3. Ranged Support | Mortars, Field Guns, or Snipers | Placed behind the vehicle to eliminate enemy defensive crews and static nests. |
| 4. Tactical Support | Airstrikes, Smokescreens, or Artillery | Held in hand to wipe out concentrated anti-armor units as the push engages. |
Dedicated anti-tank infantry and hidden mines represent the greatest hazards to heavy vehicles. Running an infantry screen ahead of your armor reveals concealed emplacements, absorbs rocket volleys, and detonates ground traps safely.
Tactical Cycling During the Push
As your armored formation crosses the midline, spend incoming supply to dismantle defensive fortifications using direct fire-support tactics. Opponents typically drop dedicated tank destroyers, heavy ordnance, or rocket squads directly onto your vehicle. Because Double Supply regenerates resources rapidly, you can queue spells pre-emptively to clear these clusters.
- Clear defender clusters: Use area-of-effect cards like strafing runs, chemical rounds, or mortar barrages to eliminate infantry defending the enemy bunker.
- Neutralize static anti-armor: Target enemy anti-tank guns and defensive emplacements with long-range artillery before your tank enters their range.
- Maintain lane momentum: Once your first tank reaches the enemy threshold, the doubled supply pool generates enough resources to cycle into a second heavy vehicle or siege reinforcement, maintaining uninterrupted front-line pressure.
Responding to Opponent Counters
Heavy tank pushes provoke two common reactions from an opponent:
- Overcommitting to the tank lane: If an opponent drains their entire card rotation and supply pool to destroy your super tank, their reserves will be empty. Even if your initial tank falls, use surviving escort units to press forward, or immediately drop a second heavy tank in the same lane before they rebuild their defenses.
- Launching an opposite-lane counter-rush: If the opponent attempts to rush your opposite bunker with light infantry while your armored spearhead advances, ignore minor chip damage and direct all available resources into the tank's lane. Heavy armor operating under Double Supply breaks structures substantially faster than light flanking units can demolish your main base, allowing you to win the race to the command bunker.

This saved me time in the early game.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
Nice guide. I am checking the other SIEGE: World War II articles next.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
