Hmm, depends on the situation. Pinning with SUBS is always good. Only
proble here is that the BATs are escorted by some DESs and the
intelligent enemy moves them first through the squares -> SUBs are
surely destroyed, BATs reach city fast.
Another idea would be firing rockets in the first phase to bind the
units but if they move before you -> rocket lost for nothing.
Maybe evacuate -> this won't train the BATs.

You have to move in vast amounts of more-hit-units fast. 6 BATs are
hard... hey Bill, do you need fast help? :-)

And then there is this mega-secret trick to prevent the enemy
conquering the valuable city.. won't help you that much. You'll gain
1 or 2 turns and your units are lost, too. AND I won't tell you this
approach =;-))))

The only use of PTBs I know of is for finding and destroying spies
in water squares. They aren't worth anything!
