They lost so many T90's to point blank RPG-7 attacks; that they had to launch a "foot mobile" assault into the city. Resupply became problematic. That old adage is STILL true: "Ounces equal pounds; Pounds equal pain...."

I recall them quoting something along those lines in the series, "Korea, Fire and Ice." Where the quote goes something like this,

"The troops became road bound, its as if they've lost the use of their legs." Said by an American Colonel or General during the collapse early on in the War.

It seems the Army developed a similar mechanized doctrine during WWII....sure it was good for Europe, but I guess the lessons learned in the Pacific were lost. Sadly, we repeated it during the Cold War and such doctrine endured through today.

Finally starting to work up a couple of T2013 campaigns, one "normal", one zombies. The zombie one is easy, need a little more detail for the WWIII campaign.
