Default Towed units

Hello,
Does anyone have any idea if towed units are possible in Generals or Zero Hour? Ideally, I'd like to be able to daisychain towed vehicles. If this is possible, how would I go about implementing them?

I'm thinking (dreaming for now) of a TC where one of the sides would have towable heavy trailers (which turn into buildings) and/or weapon emplacements. They would be towed to a location and then deploy (maybe on command) once unhitched. The end effect would be an almost fully mobile base. On the move such a 'building vehicle convoy' could look a bit like a road train on steroids, with trailers the size of emperor tanks being pulled by a really big prime mover.

Just the thing to irritate your opponents with, really.

Base? What base? There's no base here.

On the other hand, I can really imagine a 'defend the train' mission where the player gets to defend a road train from a rampaging horde of infantry and buggies.

Cheers,
ErikM :evil:
