How Best to Use German Truck Card?

Post by jhdeerslayer »

So I see how to deploy this 80 count truck Unit. But how best to use it to move Leg Inf? I can't see where it allows Micro-Management to add some quantity of trucks to each various Leg Reg to mobilize them (TOE restrictions). I understand you can use it to Transport one Leg Regiment but how to you maximize the 80 truck benefit? Are these trucks only good for moving one Inf Reg then?

Also useful if you disband it in order to have some additional replacement pool trucks.

ok thanks interesting. I just noticed you can transport a whole stack of units also and not just one Regiment (assuming you have enough Carry Points). But they all need to stay together.... Just thought it would be nice to be able to motorize a whole Division somehow.

I've been using it to carry the leg battalion of FBB- they have enough trucks to carry the remainder of another FBB battalion to give it 100% transport chance. Links the units- but they are going to the same place anyway...
