Thing is, that happened more often than not. The German Army during WW2 was woefully lacking in motorized transport. Together with air-superiority, the fact that the US and it's allies had such an extensive motor-pool is credited with their victory. Germany spent so much damn time/energy/resources developing the most effective and feared artillery (88s), tanks (Tiger's) and personnel weapons (STGs), they completely negelected the fact that these armaments and troops need to move around, quickly.
You know how hard it would be for three-four guys to push around a 1000lb gun in a ruined town?
