I believe that players have very important tactical decisions to make in JTCS scenarios when it comes to the successful deployment and utilization of transport assets.
Case in point. I'm involved in a current WF game in which the majority of my transport are pack horses with some motor transport. At first glance, a player may be inclined to dismiss the "value" of 4-legged transport as trivial. However, because of terrain, weather conditions and the need to accomplish a lot in a short time limit, I need to look for opportune ways to employ my transport assets in order for my heavy machine guns and mortars to get into positions to support my troops. :chin:
In other words, the successful deployment and utilization of transport is more then just a dull exercise of "drive them in"... "unload"... and then "get the heck out of there" activity. It involves careful planning and consideration.
Transport will not win a game for you... but the lack of transport can lose a game for you. My two cents. :chin:
