Truck Points Value

[K K Rossokolski]

IO would like to see a way to remove truck from the board without having to move them all the way to a edge hex. It just takes way too long on some of the scenarios to move them all. Just on my wish list after all it is the holiday season.

Hi Chuck:

I don't think Santa should deliver on this wish! :stir:

IMO it is a "good" thing that players cannot remove trucks and other transport from non-edge hexes.

I played a recent WF desert scenario (No, it was not you RR! :whis:) in which my armored cars were able to ambush enemy trucks that had dropped off their passengers and were motoring to the board edge.

Another example. In a current WF game, I was able to control the majority of the road network. My tactical control forced my opponent to keep his transport close and I was able to work a few light mortar units in close enough to score some hits on his trucks.

Allowing transport to drop off passengers and then be "magically" removed defeats these valid battlefield ambush tactics. It also "cheapens" the value of transport and leads to "gamey" tactics since players could drive loaded transport into battlefield areas with no regard on how to extract their valuable transport. Dismount your passengers... push a button... and poof - transport safely disappears from the battlefield! :smoke:

I fully agree with you, Mike. Trucks, loaded or otherwise, are fair game. And I think players should agree beforehand about whether transport can be removed at an edge hex.
