Friendly Halftrax Debate

[Von Earlmann]

No one's been pissed off on these forums for years so...

First...a heartfelt disclaimer!
I come in peace, my guns are empty, actions open, all benched downrange...

For all those who have embraced a hard craniumed "halftrax" ideology, I appeal to those neurons within your crystalline skulls that remain pliant and flexible enough to embrace change, fostering peace and harmony in the process.  Before they die of alcohol poisoning I mean.

There is a time for war...and a time for debate...I.E., "civilized war"...

I was getting my ass beat the other day in EF2 and was wondering if during our extended and exhaustive creative period a decade or so ago, when spring was still in the air, men were men, and sheep were scared...if anyone decided an unloaded half track...the bane of all existence and owner of about half our ROE's...should be able to assault a loaded truck?

Just a wrinkle that occurs to you when your getting over ran by a few thousand Communists in lend leased Studebakers and Chrysler Power Wagons...

In many scenarios the 1st side player is pushing hard to secure position, usually somewhat regardless of casualties, because you can't make an omelet as they say.  So the occasional loaded truck gets spotted.
**it happens.

Enter the unloaded half track.
They technically remain combat units, and should be able to assault a nice pile of loaded trucks with no firepower at all.
Orrrrrrrrr shouldn't they?

Hey...Clint Eastwood did it in Kelly's Heroes so...

I understand we are all going to have our own ROEs here and I am not of a mind to try and change any hearts and minds.  I may try to win them over...but I spring from the Vietnam generation so I know how that shit works...
When you go to the Wal Mart and buy Vietnamese flip flops for the beach does that mean we won?
Hearts, minds, and pocketbooks?

You can lead a guerrilla fighter to a claymore mine...but you can't make him detonate it...

Respect and regards to all you comrades and gentlemen warriors!

Halftracks are our friends :-)
