I just want the players to realise that Tanks will be effective but not monster weapons and for some part out of their control.

I'm always happy to see some of those Italian tankettes. So cute! <br /><br />I have studied SCW tank doctrines for my MA, if you want I can find you a pair of nice articles about their use?<br />Out of the head:<br />Tanks cooperate with infantry, except they get over zealous and advance ahead of it. Then they should return, but they rarely did and whole attack got pretty much stopped.<br />German tankers were told not to engage soviet tanks (MG vs. AT gun sort of a problem :D).<br />Italians at least once chased T-26 in their flamethrower L3. It didn't work.<br />Tanks got completely trashed by even the lightest AT guns.<br />Tanks were never used in groups bigger than 50 vehicles.<br />They were great for morale, however. Shattering enemy's and boosting own troops' morale. <br /><br />So playing tank the correct way, you should only point it "vorwarts" if my German is any good :D.
