Speaking off cheese play, back in CS there was some of that going on with the improper use of the german 251/1 halftrack.
Namely it's use as a scout vehicle, which in turn resulted in it being used for nothing else but the old "cannon fodder" trick.. :-)

I have yet to see anyone complaining about that here, in CM.
Is it the smaller scale these battle are fought at, that makes it justifiable?

Unlike CS, in CM using a jeep or halftrack to recon is not very wise actually. You can't use the bump tactic like in CS, and the way the WEGO turn system works, by the time you get units into position to possibly take out a gun that just picked off your halftrack your opponent would likey know which way you are coming and set up an ambush.

Another factor is that halftracks you lose give your opponent a good amount of VP's unlike in CS.
