Request for an Important Thread: "Rules of Engagement for PBEM Games"

[Herr Straße Laufer]

With all the reading I have done, armed transports can be used for combat of any kind. The SS actually had a HT Bn for a little while, Peiper commanded one in Russia. But the risk of easy kills is there, we all know that.

Unarmed transports should only be used to move other units faster and to remove from the map. Should not be allowed to block roads.

My 2 cents.

Here is where I fully agree (and it does fit my personal ROE's regarding armed HTs).

The Brits had their Bren Carries move to overrun enemy AT guns while their Carrier Squads provided cover fire.
I've read accounts of US armor commanders sending HT platoons to cut off retreats and machine gun enemy tank crews.

I'll start looking for sources that verify.
