Default Re: Unsupported tanks behind enemy lines

In SPWAW I sometimes used a mixture of BT-7s and motorcycle infantry against the AI to raid the enemy rear. A motorcyle platoon would probe the front to see if the area I had chosen for the crossing was not too heavily defended, looking for ATGs in particular. Then if positive I would rush in the tanks and the remaining motorcycles. Once in the rear the motorcycles would look for artillery and such, which the tanks would then blast into oblivion. Tanks would also help the motorcycles against MGs and such they ran into.
Great fun, though probably not cost effective at all.
