My German Regular Mech was up against Don Bend's Veteran Russian Mech.  The objectives included a center village, a patch of rough ground to the north and a swampy low land further north.  The terrain was open with only the tall grass of the steepe and a few wooded spots for cover. My force included a battalion of riflemen, 2 Tigers, a PzIV, 8 HTs, and 2 150 field guns.  The Russians had what appeared to be a regiment of veteran infantry with a mix of riflemen, SMG squads, and pioneers.  Supporting him were 2 AT guns and a SU152.
 
It started off rough for the Germans immediately losing a 150 and the PzIV.  However I was able to soon knock out the 152 and both AT guns.  Using the Halftracks I was able to gain key strategic locations quickly where my infantry could fire on the advancing Soviets from cover.  Although the
Soviet AT rifles took their toll, knocking out half of my HTs by game's end, they were able to ferry half of my rifle squads and a few HMGs across the sea of grass and machinegun fire.  The Russian infantry were slowed in their advance by covering machine gun fire and were forced to assault positions which my troops were able to occupy earlier with the aid of the HTs.  This proved to be deciding factor in a long drawn out firefight. Therefore, my opinion of the use of halftracks in this scenario differs greatly from Herrbixx's in his earlier AAR.
 

As the terrain was almost flat with very little cover, I bought several 37mm AA guns and an 85mm to cover my infantry movement to the village and flags.  My opponent was nice enough to lay down a nice smoke screen which aided me no end.  My armor was out to the flanks to cover the troop movement also. Flaming Zippo, decided on a mobile force with many HTs.  Prior experience has taught me how vunerable they are to the Russian AT rifle.  Only one of his HTs actually made it to the village.
        After the smoke had cleared I was almost to the village.  Our guns had a dual which came out about even, his PZIVs made an appearance, and caused my infantry some problems, and took out my assault guns, but my T-34s had worked their way into his flank, and were able to knock them out.  At this point my infantry were able to take the village and flags, and keep what was left of his force at bay.
