But, gee if the infantry was hiding in the woods how would the tanks get
near them? 'Cause we all know that Woods are restricted terrain to
vehicles ;).

Seriously though I've got to agree. The games of squad leader I've played
thats been the only way of 'popping' tanks with infantry. Wait for them to
get ahead of their infantry cover and jump them from cover. The man
portable anti-tank weapons usually just bounce off the front armor of most
MBTs. I've been told on many occations from many sorces that that is more
or less true to life.
