Why Btonze Age?

[abaris]

I seem to recall that a cavalry unit came across a German infantry unit and attacked them but were quickly driven off when a couple of machine gun carriers ( Pz I's?) came up.  I'm sure the Germans had armored cars in 1939.  Not so sure if they were using half-tracks by then for the purpose.

The PZ 1 was nothing but an armored machine gun carrier. Armed with two MG 34. Not much stronger than the Sd.Kfz. 231.





Halftrucks, such as the Hanomag were mainly used to dispatch troops quickly. Also armed with an MG 34, later with an MG 42. They evolved during the war, of course, featuring all kinds of weaponry, up to grenade and missile launchers.
