I know I've had Motorcyclists break down (all 8 of them? [&:]), and I think I've had the same occur with Bicyclists, but I'm not so sure with them. I rarely use them.

Burma. Nasty terrain, plenty of diseases to go around, extremely hot (during the summer, dehydration was a major issue), followed by drenching rains.
And bugs. Lots of bugs.

Oh, and let's not forget enemy soldiers there as well!

<t> When I last played the scenario, I had my tanks hidden in the trees along the ridges to the west of the big hill, plus some AT guns as support units, infantry+consripts around the tanks. With 120mm mortars, 150mm art. and nice pre-planned bombardment targets, my artillery managed to take out ...

Nah, humans will move their tank or kill your mortars, or something equally devious, and the AI is just stupid and deserves what it gets. [;)]<br ...

<t> If I'm playing a defensive scenario, then I typically concentrate my AT guns in the center, and place some of my tanks to guard the flanks. The tanks can then also be used to flank the enemy (especially the idiotic AI). On other scenarios, I might have AT guns in trucks or gun teams following ...

<t> I'm rather fond of the Soviet Paratroopers as an early war infantry. Their SVT rifles are much better than the Mosins, and the grunts actually rally most of the time, unlike most other early-war Soviet units...<br/>
