Given the discussion though, I am a little stunned at the possible unintended consequences. Very interesting stuff.
LOL! If you were playing me and I saw a herd of empty trucks running down the road trying to draw opt fire, we would not be playing for long. Though, some might not see it as such a penalty? ;)
If anyone wants to see the "value of the truck" they should read up on the "Redball Express" and what the Allied command was willing to sacrifice to create it. Or, what Rommel said after viewing line after line of Allied trucks moving supplies across the desert.
I have seen designers who put in every single truck for every single unit in a defensive position. How that scenario plays out is extremely effected by the new point values of trucks. A stray "blind" bombardment could gain huge points in empty trucks alone. :chin:
