 Is a technique the Soviets used before they found halftracks/armored personnel carriers. Maybe diesen Augstbergen employ the same technique? Another thing the Soviets were famous for on the Eastern Front was to push their armies as far as they could go until they got to the point that they had exhausted all their resources and simply could not go any further. They would then go into a hasty defense until their Logistics trains could catch up with them. It usually meant spending 3-7 days in this Defense waiting for fuel and ammo to come forward.

Can't say I can see our little fictional country of Augstberg employing such aggressive, offensive doctrine as the Russians, or the Germans deployed. Small country with a focus of Neutrality, seems more likely they would employ defensive tactics. Like much of Europe of the time, be thinking in terms of traditional trench warfare, rather than the modern, mobile style of fighting that WW2 introduced.

Currently, having probably seen how well "old" tactics fared for their neighboring countries, they could well be in a state of rearrangement, trying to adapt to this new form of war. The Swiss had very few tanks, mostly Czech 1935 and 1938 models, mostly because their real method for defending themselves from invading vehicles was: Landslides. They had explosives packed into areas above natural chokepoints on the mountain passes, and if an army started coming, blow the road closed. They could then safely shell the living crap out of the invaders, as they tried to clear the rubble.

If the Augstbergers do have tanks, I could see them being rather hopelessly out dated, but still effective in a defensive scenario: Good armor, mediocre guns, and more machineguns than what is really needed (Char B1, Mathilda, etc). Or tankettes. Or a couple of alright medium/light tanks, but no where near enough of them for a real battle.
