sonar Wrote:2.I can't see any reason for motorised Inf. troops to fight on foot other than to move through terrain unpassable for wheeled/tracked vehicles.If this is the case wouldn't they be quicker to go around? then they wouldn't have to traipse back to Hq. I just don't see obstacles on the maps that can't be circumvented faster by lorry/halftrack than by walking over a few km's where the wheels can't go and losing (temporarily) all that mobility. Again am I missing something?
To add to what Ricky said and provide some other examples.
When you start to play some of the winter based games, such as Moscow 41, swamps, etc, can freeze over one day and thaw the next, trapping any motorized units which happen to be in them. So dumping your trucks and walking back to HQ to get some more is an option here. Also watch out where your motorised units are at midnight.
Also in games such as Minsk 44, there is a lot of marshy area with obstacles inside. To clear a path for your infantry you may need to dismount motorised engineers to enter the swamps.
One more, when using engineers to ferry units across a river they can only ferry non-motorized units. Hence, dismounting should allow motorized assets to cross the river. (HQ's are usually motorized so to get your vehicles back in this situation, the river either has to be bridged or the motorized unit must cross back.) Never tried this one myself though.
