Where were there ground battles?

some examples :]
- germans used mobile flack units on train wagons in france
- some tanks were stationed in various positions near the south coast, in order to repel a possible invasion force. currently no need to have them moving, but destroying them could create points for the attacker
- BoM will be land based with a major land battle component, this obviously is their main purpose of now working on this element
- landing your damaged spitfire in a field, walking to a nearby vehicle and taking control of it to drive back to the nearest airfield is now almost possible
- user created missions on the current BoB maps have already included scenarios where the germans succesfully landed troops on brittish soil, in that fictional scenario having control of ground vehicles is already usefull
- giving initial limited access to these new features before their main implementation in BoM, will allow bug reports and fine tuning of that elemnt and start generating interrest for it from a wider user base
- etc..
