(36,292 posts)The guy who played the Germans would place his AT guns, Panthers and Tigers in the woods undercover where I couldn't see them unless one of my own units was right next to them or they fired at one of my units.
Not wanting to get my best and brightest shot up before they had a chance to fight, I created the "Kamikaze Truck Corps". These were empty deuce and a half transportation trucks that's I'd send screaming across open ground hoping to draw enemy fire. The guy playing the Germans was too smart to open fire on mere trucks which would give away his positions so I had to move the trucks right next next to where I thought he might be hidden. The enemy would be found and my brave members of the "Kamikaze Truck Corps", armed with their .45 caliber pistols would shoot it out with the enemy. Those truck drivers died bravely but fast (it was an unequal battle). The important thing was that I learned the hiding places of the enemy. Especially of those freaking Tiger tanks which could blow the shit out of my Shermans if they got the first shot.
