Need opinion on a recent use of halftrack.

[Thor]

Dev's rules are on the money IMO.

My preferred ROE are:

1) No HT swarms;

2) No intentional use of empty HTs to draw op fire; or even repeated use of the same armored unit/tank to draw op fire (i.e.: "pinball wizard; use of a single unit's full APs to draw repeated op fire);

3) No HT assaults on armor unless supported by infantry or tanks;

4) HT scouts into enemy territory acceptable as long as they move with other combat units and/or try to stay within 5 or so hexes of their infantry. HT scouts on defense behind your own lines no problem.

Those ROE may be slightly more liberal than true "realists" prefer, but allow for more flexibility in use of HTs than stricktly "transport-only" ROE do.

Plus, I gotta believe that HTs were used for scouting, or assisting in assaults in some cases, especially as the war progressed.
