Youre right Brad, all I meant is that it does not sound smart to consider something that probably was an exception from the rule the basis for future tactics. For example try that thunder run on Berlin's city highway, or on the huge boulevards and alleys along "Unter den Eichen" or "Unter den Linden", that are wide streets, multiple lanes, with a green centrelane with bushes, parks, trees, and many tress on both sides of the streets, additonal to the buildings and side streets (Berlin is a very green city for it's size) . Imagine you are up against regular BW infantry and/or commandos armed with Panzerfaust-3 and Milans. An armoured column trying it most probably would get shreddered into pieces, I'm sure.
One should tailor one's tactics according to the assumed worst possible situation or enemy. If the actual enemy one is dealing with shows to be much weaker, good, then it is a welcomed bonus and thankfully accepted. But to implement tactics against a strong enemy that were designed to deal with weaker enemies may result in ultimate desaster.
BTW, for Steel Beasts, a guy called Daskal has set up a huge scenario, Thunder Run Baghdad. Go and buy SB, Brad, and then try that scenario as a constantly running armoured column !
