Need opinion on a recent use of halftrack.

[Big Dawg]

I am playing a nice guy who I brought to the Blitz from the Matrix site. He played the AI for years (sounds familiar), but now is interested in playing PBEM.

We discussed the use of empty unmanned halftracks, and I pointed out it was frowned upon to send the empty halftracks swarming into the rear of the enemy.

In our game he sent a scout AC and a Puma into my rear. (This is starting to sound like a sick porn movie.)

Anyway, I had a AA halftrack positioned to support my Greyhound AC adjacent to a victory hex in my rear. (There I go again, but I am just trying to paint a picture, guys.)

The Allied Greyhound AC and the AA halftrack shoots the Axis Puma AC. No foul as the AA halftrack does not carry infantry, and has a quad .50 cal AA gun on top.

The question was raised (and I think it is a very good question) when I sent an unmanned empty Allied halftrack about a dozen hexes toward the Puma. This halftrack never fired because it ran out of points, but it did occupy an adjacent hex.

He raised a good question. I attacked the scout that was in my rear (DOH!!), but I had to move a dozen spaces to do so.

He is not raising a stink, but he raised such a good question I thought I would ask fellow Blitz members if this was acceptable being it was my rear I was protecting (#@$%&!!!), or a cheesy use of halftracks.

Thanks ....Jack
