The armed half-track

[Otto von Blotto]

Probably a bad move expressing an opinion on this but a long time has past and the mood seems to has changed somewhat here goes.

This HT debate has always bothered me somewhat, I must say I view that I’m the commander, I can use any combat unit at my disposal in any way I see fit if the program allows it, this is a war game after all and fair play and decency do not necessarily apply this in not a sports sim after all.

I don’t tend to use them in the spotting and attack roles much because they are a lot of points to lose but that doesn’t mean I think they can’t be used as such.

If your opponents use HT for spotting take them out with direct or indirect fire failing that smoke just in front of them and render them obsolete.

If they try to use them in attack and scouting, ambush and assault them.

If the program allows you to do things you should be allowed to do them, House rules like HT no more than 3 hex’s from it’s carrier unit is just playing to rule junkies, if JT etc envisioned it played that way they should have hard coded it into the game or one of the updates?
