Default Re: German Motorcycles and their Units

Sure its easier to change them to size 1 - but is it realistic? They you have the same size of infantry - in fact, super-fast-moving infantry that rules the battlefield... so I'd reject this option. The downside of my solution with size 2 MC transports and size 0-1 scouts/inf passengers, however, is also that if drawing enemy fire or driving into a minefield, the crew dismounts and sometimes takes heavy casualties, as does the unarmored bike, but hey, that's what I buy them for... better than losing a tank. I also experimented with single bikes - those will arguably be OK with size 1, IF they are only armed with a pistol - otherwise you got the 1-man Rambo biker---
