RE: Truck Points Value
A further point I might add on "Tactics" is that the issue of truck use is much more than their use in gamesmanship.
Tactical use of the "unimportant" trucks is much more than simply loading 'em up, driving down the pike and yelling "Everybody out!!" when you reach the cutoff point. Many factors such as dead ground, enemy proximity, time and space pressures, and many more, come into play. In the real world the issues are INFINITELY more complex.
Every experienced player here, has, I am sure, felt that sick feeling of impending disaster when he confidently advances the turn, sends it off, gets the move back, plays it and the first thing he sees ....... a couple or three armoured cars materialise each side of his long line of loaded trucks, the ones of which he said last turn..."Just one more hex." That sort of disaster is now worth a lot more...to your foe!!
