RE: Question to Glenn S regarding AT units
The issue is the Campaign games not knowing if they are tactical or operational level.
Personally, I cannot see anything wrong with the 1 hex movement even for 88mm and 17pdr guns. I don't think anyone would think they are manhandling the guns - 1 hex movement would be an abstraction.
One of the most important considerations in combat was siting these guns with a thought to extraction. They didn't just unlimber them, stick them in the open and drive the towing vehicle 2 kilometres to the rear.
If you think about motorised infantry in Campaigns...if we were to use the AT example they should have to enter travel mode before they obtain greater movement range than when they are 'on foot'. But they don't - they're deemed to have abstracted access to their transport at a tactical level and don't need to enter T mode. AT guns are not treated the same way; for them to use their transport they have to enter T mode. It's a contradiction.
