How do I use ammo trucks?

[m113apc]

The use of ammo trucks is a matter of taste.
I use them, not many but I have some, and they are a part of the strategy.

The advantage I get in having these vehicles, I make up to the AI in numbers & strength.
So the AI gets to buy more stuff than me. And often, the AI has masses of arty of all kind, onboard and off board, pounding away on my forces.

I would really love to see those enemy ammo trucks driving away in the middle of an enemy attack or advance. I guess many in here have seen the results of an ammo dump going of, with secondary explosions. I have lost a few because of that.

When I think of it.
Have anyone tried, or thought about using them as IED.
Just think about it. You are expecting an enemy advance through a dense forest, or something similar, where you can place your ammo dump or vehicle.
You place it so the enemies don’t see it before its one hex away; my guess is that the AI will blast away on that unit. That would do some damage on the enemy, wouldn’t it?

Ages ago I had a real tough battle for both sides, he had managed to reload his TOS-1s But I was after them & he was having to use them in direct fire mode vs my tanks. There were lots of little clumps of close cover & on his turn 3 ammo trucks charged my armour. Stopped 2 at a couple of hexes which if I remember both blew up the third got right up to a tank but luckily did not go bang when it died.
It was a totaly crazy battle you would load the game & see a tank company had vanished before even hitting the replay button.
