I did this in the first game I played....and paid a price. I lost
because my "mob" (while being very Orky) was just too unwieldy. The
slow troops held the vehicles back due to the 30 cm chain of command.

I divided my second army this way, and got better results. It's
really easy to make ork detachments for specific missions IMHO. I
really like this about the new game. I've found that nothing scares
those Imperial Guard artillery pansys more than a Cult of Speed
marching around to flank their guns and wipe out all that arty.
