The Chinese are toast!

Marching and carrying a rifle is one thing, but dragging around infantry weapons like howitzers, guns, mortars, ammo using four legged animals in difficult terrain on the scale of army and corps level is a different thing. Don't forget the disease and weather also. Perhaps an increase in IW(read heavy weapons) tech should see a likewise reduction in AP & FM unless the unit receiving the upgrade is fully motorized.

Light infantry in the form of SF, I can go with, but their attack CTVs should reflect the mobility.

Good idea, SeaMonkey!

But i guess this would recuire at least some more levels of motorization techs again.

Thanks X, but that's the deal, we do away with motorization tech altogether and you build the unit with the integrated mobility and of course all nations other than US/UK would be limited in the number of builds of the motorized/mech unit.

I wouldn't be opposed to an army group HQ attachment to a formation under its control of the AG's motor pool, allowing the unit to have additional APs. Of course this still would be limited, perhaps only one of the allowed HQ attachments, subject to the player's discretion, would receive the motor pool. Additionally, the detachment of the MP would see a one turn condition of no unit receiving the benefit as the HQ reallocates the mobility factor.

Perhaps the level of motorization tech could reflect the number of builds of mechanized/highly mobile units, including tanks. Each level of motor tech allows one additional unit added to the build limit, indicating a degree of efficiency in movement, read...miles per gallon, km/liter as well as assembly line organization and "type" standardizations. You could see this another way also, the level of motor tech allows more units under the HQ attachment to receive the "motor pool". Plenty of things to think about here, as motorization tech could reflect the efficient use of petroleum reserves and be applied to naval and air units also. Maybe it should be renamed "energy" tech?:)

Infantry warfare tech does not always have to refer to heavy weapons. For example assault rifles and panzerfaust would be one manifestation as would lighter weight artillery that could be dismantled and carried by a mule for mountain troops.
