Antitank gun units

[Vaevictis]

I've never figured out how to make them very useful.

T mode is the problem. If defending, they have to set up and die because going T mode in front of attackers is suicide.

Unfortunately, the AT guns are fragile enough that once they are in the front line infantry and art can massacre them.

Maybe if they could move one hex without being in T mode, they would be a powerful addition to defense. Or if there was no way to individually target them with infantry/artillery fire. Maybe they should have just been abstracted in the inf AT rating (not ideal, but what can you do?).

It seems odd if you have 900 infantry and 12 guns in a hex, enemy infantry battalions can focus on the guns with relative impunity.

Maybe a house rule not to target AT guns with direct and indirect fire unless all infantry in the hex is disrupted?
