TRUCKS. Just the ordinary old truck, not the vast plethora of exotic types, covered or otherwise, clogging up the OOBs.
Can anyone explain the following:
1. Standard desert terrain, no roads.
British truck travels 7 hexes
German truck 6 hexes
Italian truck 4 hexes
This makes no sense to me, having owned in the last half century at least one vehicle from each of the above nations.

2. This is not new, but regularly goes unanswered......Why are trucks now 3VPs? Having done some infantry courses during my long time in the Navy, no one values the amenity of a deuce-and-a-half ride more than I. I just have trouble with the value...... 2, fine, but 3???
If nothing else, surely such a huge change renders the balance stats of the great stock of truck-containing old scens very suspect, even noting that truck carrying capacity has been doubled.

BTW, if any of my current foes reads this, I will try hard to get back to you ASAP, perambulations having finished for a while, I hope.
