[Crossroads]

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.

Them damn Fiats are just no good. Not on the streets, not on the desert.

Not everyone of us has owned a Ferrari like you, mind you :mad: I once dreamed owning a Alfa Romeo... No Alfa Romeo trucks made either?

;)

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.

I believe the change was made at the time it took only 1/2 SP of Trucks to transfer 1 SP of infantry. Therefore, but only with the newer scenarios, the VP value available from truks has actually gone down 50%

I might be wrong though. I often am. What was the old VP value of a truck again? I am at work, can't access the info...

Great topic btw!
