RE: WW2 Artillery vs. Armor
Al said, "From my readings WW2 armor rarely, if ever at the operational level acted alone, without supporting infantry." and a similar point was implied by most others.
I agree, but my question is just because I have a tank unit in PzC does that mean it has no infantry at all in it? Are tanks all that are represented by that unit?
For example, the 280 StuG Bgd in MG44 had it's own infantry complement that worked with the StuGs (as did all StuG Bgds and Tiger Btls TOE-wise). But we don't see these inherent infantry in many of the PzC games.
That makes me wonder if we're imposing too much tactical detail on an abstract operational system
OR
that we need more detail to represent these TOE nuances.
Just another take,
Bob
BTW, another example would include the infantry complement of recon btls.
