Hey Y'all:
I know almost nothing about the manner and techniques of outfitting an army,
and I find that I have no idea where to look for the information except some
google searches that didn't yield much of interest. What I want to know is

images in my head from movies that seem to always pair tanks and motorcycles
together -- but why is that an obvious pairing? Is there a strategy behind
this pairing?

but I had no idea where to place such a wildly off-topic question.
Thanks in advance,
-- Hop-Frog
