RE: Abusing horses and trucks
A gamey tactic indeed. It comes down to this, are you playing a game, or are you attempting to simulate an actual combat situation? I don't mean this judgementally. Would officers or NCOs delay rallying the troops to let them get over the shock of loss a few minutes while they are still vulnerable to fire? And on the macro-scale, beyond the scope of our scenarios, an army wins or loses based on losses of infantry and transportation. Keeping the transport in limiting terrain out of artillery LOS keeps them available for the next battle. Even retreating them off the board would make sense depending on the attacker's mission. Of course you'll never see preserving mobility as a victory condition, except as an aspect of exiting the board into the opponent's rear area.
