Half tracks

[Larry Reese]

I have used flame thrower tanks and HTs with great effect. As scud mentions, you just have to make sure there is no opfire and, if possible, enough points left after the attack to move them out of the front line. Otherwise they go up in smoke with appalling rapidity. I also particularly like half-tracks for their improved cross country performance versus trucks... I tend to avoid using them in assaults as this is somewhat ahistorical in my opinion (I've got several good manuals from the war that specifically talk about the HT occupants bailing out to prepare to fight, then the driver going to hide the vehicle, and when done, joining the other passengers on foot. Anyway... just random thoughts at 0215.

Later,
