Default Re: Killing Groups

From a historical point of view from what I can tell this sort of formation would have indeed been possible but as Cross & Marek point out. Most likely to be used by US as had abundant transport. Germans used as Cross said more on the defence to exploit a breakout or act as a roving kill force behind the main line. However the Germans would tend to use the halftracks only if they really had to or just as transport to the area. They never had enough so losing your ride meant you were in for a lot of walking probably carrying equipment.
