XR-311 ....... 3-2-1 Discuss.

[bobcat]

i tend to prefer lighter vehicles with higher mobility. the smaller load keeps people from trying to bring everything that isn't welded in place with them on a mission. thus helping make sure they don't antagonize the people they are there to help.

now the open air design is problematic but one would think the project would have the foresight to include a winterization kit for cold climates. failing that one can easily be improvised by cannibalizing a tent, one of the sleep chambers*, and judicious use of duct tape. it would be much less than ideal in an NBC environment but that really is the only thing that would be problematic for use by the project. of course most of the people i play with have enjoyed strange military careers so we tend to gravitate toward unique feildmods to vehicles and equipment to resolve any faults.

That's a good question, before getting put into there tubes did the teams have an opportunity to modify there equipment Or are the vehicles stock I could see this being more useful if there was an opportunity to add some storage bins to the side, armored doors and cab, better seats and dash, and perhaps extending the back a bit for more storage. As a stock vehicle it is sub par, but customized a bit the vehicle could have potential.

Well the XM-311 did have an "armor kit" that enclosed the whole crew compartment. So the problem you then have is keeping the crew compartment heated.

Adendum

according to the Wikipedia page it did have "environmental kits"

I love that 6 barreled recoilless rifle, certainly an armoured version is an interesting proposition for a scout/technical vehicle. Where as the humvee in this role has tended to be slow, vulnerable and generally not good.

The XR311 seems far more likely to be able to drive out of trouble and then strike back.

I remember reading someplace where this special forces dune buggy type vehicle that was meant for fast moving light recon had a bad habit of getting stuck in the sand. Apparently, it was great on hard sand but with a full load of gear, it just get getting stuck when it went off-road.

Which kind of raises a problem. Why not go with a more simple off-road vehicle that was mass produced 4 wheel drive with decent carriage capacity

The 4TH Ed. adds the HumVee, so I use this for rapid response, some courier duties. It also had the Silverado stats, and I've put these in Morrow Industries facilities at times.

I think I know what you are asking for. The mass table starting on page 81 is used to calculate the "MASS" of the vehicle and then you jump down to page 175 to finish the rest of the information required.

[ArmySGT.]

Thanks!

The vehicles portion and the animals stats portion REALLY need to reference the table on pages 81-83.

That is aggravating. I will have to read the "Travel & Timing" section to see how this all shakes out.

[ArmySGT.]

Page 175 "Maximum speed is used to find running PACE. STR and Dex are calculated from PACE.
Page 37 (STR+DEX+MASS/10) = PACE

Where is the table for converting KPH to PACE

(HeadDesk)

[RandyT0001]

Page 37
......character's pace, also represents the number of kilometers they can walk an hour.

Correct.

Vehicles though, page 175, maximum speed is used to find running pace. Wheeled vehicles get an overall x6 multiplier (x3,x2 for wheels). STR and Dex are calculated from the PACE value.

I am trying to determine how they came up with the stats for the XR-311 on page 180.

126 kph = PACE = 21

How

[RandyT0001]

126 divided by 6 = pace of 21
21 multiply by 10 for 210
210-32(mass)=178 (combined dex and str)

mass of 32-12=20
20/3=6.6667 (dex adjustment)
Starting stat for dex=20
20-6.6667=13.3333
round up to 14 for Dex stat
178-14 dex = 164 for Str

That is really good. Thanks. How do you think the -1 per 3 mass over 12 factored in
