In combat, you are right. However, a guerilla (nor a Shoadwrunner) should
play with AFVs in a stand up fight. Giving them the gas while the hatches
are open, on the other hand.....

Without outside support, they don't. But political victories count too.
Look at the Contras. Even though they had our backing, it was fairly
minor. However, they were able to win a political victory. Same thing
goes for the IRA- once Sein Fein was let into Parlement, that insurgency
was pretty much over, unless the Brits decide to through SF out. (The joys
of living as a subject.)
