Hi Mark
Concerning: "Finally, I wonder if that standard applies all the way up to the Second World War? Even then it was only the Allies that truly mechanised - German logistics was still largely horse-drawn" the answer is yes. The desert war has each side in ascendent , depending how close they are to their main supply source. Each side lost, when it over extended its supply lines, until after the 2nd El Alamein.
