As did his historical counterpart in O'Connor's Raid, Crusader, and El Alamein. It was a see-saw campaign.

"TOAW truck is a tool for changing the movement rate of the divisions. It's not one actual truck"
Huh? So divisions have phantom trucks that only exist in the 7th dimension? Man, you blew my mind.[X(]
It's true, though. You have to design the rest of the unit first, then add in just enough transport to give the "right" result.
Dunno why things were designed this way (something to do with behavior on the defense?), and I've never been sure how it squares with traffic congestion. Eg in a France 40 scenario I'd want German infantry divisions to be relatively clumsy formations on the move, with long road-clogging waggon trains, major obstacles to panzer formations if allowed to get in front of them. But I'm not sure if they will actually behave that way, if they're designed with just enough transports to give the right mobility.
Anyway, it's one of those things which should be talked about in the manual, but isn't. IIRC, it actually took quite a while before scenario designers twigged to it, back in the day.

I have adjectives for Bob (intelligent, inventive, often mistaken, unbelievably stubborn). I wouldn't say they're names.
Translation: I disagree with Ben from time to time.

Congratulations, Bob.
I've developed a search system based on you. When it comes to certain functions pertaining to the editor that either aren't covered or are done so in a superficial way I simply type in the term and "Curtis LeMay" in the appropriate search engine boxes. This saves me time because the odds are heavily in my favor that you have written about what I'm looking for.
