RE: Abusing horses and trucks
Nothing makes you appreciate the value of preserving your transport than reading accounts of the withdrawl from Korsun Pocket. Not only were thousand left behind due to lack of transport, but when the exhausted, hyperthemic and wounded remnant did make it across the river to German controled territory, they were unable to get medical evacuation to rear area medical facilities because the commanders on the scene dared not risk the horses or trucks to enemy artillery fire.
The focus of our scenarios is strictly limited to the moment of combat, as if no battle occurs before and after. As Campsawyer says, loss of transport is its own punishment in campaign sequences.
Optional rule: Loss of trucks and wagons subtracts one point per from the owners' victory point total in all scenarios. Your opponent still would rather target your combat units, but will target your transport if you are foolish enough to leave it vulnerable to hamstring you.
