Trucks and Transports

[Jim von Krieg]

As for DUKWs, there is a new unit created by Jason to combat those pesky DUKWs...

Jason's DUKW Blind is to prevent those DUKWs whizzing/swimming by... Equipped with a long range automatic shotgun this new unit is a devastating weapon to counter the all powerful DUKW...

I know for a fact that Jason is in the process of combatting the much feared and reviled Truck with a new unit... It's called a weigh station... All trucks on a side will have to stop at the weigh stations manned by their opponent... this will allow your opponent to roll them up prior to them blocking hexes, bridges, or exit hexes...

As to my uses for trucks, I use them as transports... they will move to an assembly point behind the lines so they aren't exposed to enemy fire prior to unload... I use them for mobility, but when the steel and lead is flying, they sit back out of the way...

On occasion, I've motored into a fight to avalanche my foe as a large infantry force disembarks right on top of the objective my infantry is in the process of liberating... However, the circumstances have to be just right... I want to motor up, drop off, and motor out of LOS...

I may use a few as trip wires on lonely deserted forest roads, but for the most part I am LOATH to give away FREE victory points to an opponent. I like to use them to motor my reserves to the fight... not give my opponent a FREE lunch...
