can we have the armoured element of a pz grendier unit as a separate unit when not being used as transport .Unlike the allies who used there halftracks as battlefield taxis,the germans had many weapons carry vehicle's within a company, this include towards the of the war 11 x sdkfz 251/1 mg, 7x sdkfz 251/17 2cm aa guns,2xsdkfz 251/2 8cm mortar ,and 2x sdkfz251/9 75mm inf gun .These vehicles was used in support of the company in attack in either mounted or dismounted form .
The Allies used their M3/M5 half tracks as a means to transport their infantry to edge of battlefield before dismounted the infantry to fight through the opposition with the vehicles mmg may be in support.
And could you consider having German an armoured Engineer and armoured recce infantry as well as they were equip as Armoured infantry they still specialise armoured vehicles

95% of PanzerGrenadier units used ordinary trucks only... no halftracks whatsoever, let alone those fancy ones with howitzers or PaKs..
