Re: A ?? RE: Allied flak coverage in Tunisia...
A quick response would be that there would be no "unlimbering". Many vehicles in the US Army carried their own AA, usually a 0.5in Browning. These can be seen in "pulpit" mountings on M3 half tracks or soft-top cabs, and as a circular mounting on hard-top cabs. Multiple gun carriage (Maxon turrets) were carried on White (or similar) half-tracks, which would travel with the convoys.
I admit not knowing the planned "order of travel" for US Army convoys, presumably some kind of dedicated spacing was involved. The precise dates of introduction of the AA half-tracks may be relevant for Tunisian operations.
