Hah, tanks without infantry support is really fat dumb and DEAD.

We've played a number of games where a lone tank ends up crippled slowly
chewed to pieces. Yeah, he can engage two targets, one with main gun and
the other with coax or other MGs but the infantry just get around him.
Eventually his mobility goes and then systems then
morale.........................................We never needed the
satchel charges limpet mines or whatever, the IAVR and GMS rounds will
work.

That's gotta be hideous if they're attacked.  With the weapons in one 
and the men in another, how do you react to an ambush?

Of course.  I was thinking I'd like to do a scenario where a tank w/o 
infantry support is caught, fat dumb and happy, in a restricted area 
and my opponent learns to speak of satchel charges with fear and 
trembling.
