Tanks without infantry support are not a super effective weapon. They're vulnerable to various anti-tank tactics by infantry. So they generally have infantry attacking with the tanks to counter many of those tactics. The famous blitzkriegs of WWII were combined arms attacks (they included aircraft as well, but that wasn't done in WWI). I would rule this answer as almost correct. And, of course, my answer as correct. -- Dan Tilque |

Dan Tilque: > super effective weapon. They're vulnerable to various anti-tank tactics > by infantry. So they generally have infantry attacking with the tanks to > counter many of those tactics... The above scores stand, but you make a good point and I'll accept your answer of "combined armor and infantry" also. No points for blitzkrieg, though, as that involved air force coordination as well, which was not done in 1916. So, 4 for Dan Tilque also.
