I do enjoy reading other people's creations, and at over 672 pages that should take awhile to read.

Bad news. It's up to 976 now...

Bad news. It's up to 976 now...

I see that.

I have quickly skimmed over the document. Since I have been researching tires for awhile this part jumped out and I like technical details.

Page 960 Commando Special Tire.
The 365/80R20 tire indicated is the upgraded "modernized" rim/tire package, after the original "commando" tires where no longer used and the rims where standardized at 20". The most common tire used was/is the MICHELIN XZL, XL and XML.

This size of tire can not be used on a Ranger/Peacekeeper, no matter how hard you try as it uses 9.50" x 16.5" tire.

Weights

XZL: 75 kgs
10x20 rim: 38 kgs
3 piece run-flat insert: 40 kgs
Tire Chain: 31.5 kgs

A bit of history for those interested, the original Commando tire details.

14.5" x 21" tire, it weighted 357 lbs/162 kgs.

Yeah, found that. Going to have to switch them out to a different size.

I'm trying to a) modernize the tires and go metric, and b) standardize the tires so there aren't 32 different tires issued to the Project.

I mean, you'd have to triple the size of the caches to fit tires for everything.

RE: Tires

I'm assuming the Project modified all of their vehicles to use a standard set of tires between them. They just don't have the logistics capability of the US military. SO, I'm assuming that they type-standardized a set of tires/wheels, and modified the vehicles as needed to use those sizes.

If anyone else notices an impossible size, let me know which of the sizes would work better. It's a pain to find some of this data, so if anyone has it, it helps a lot.

New newest version is up... Again

Hopefully this is it for a bit. I need to work on my other campaigns...

Edited with link to error-corrected version. As always, please let me know if you find any errors/typos/etc...

New Link

So, when I uploaded the newest revision, it did not replace the old document. Thus, I had to generate a new link. Here it is:

Hopefully, this is it.

Unless something unbelievably awesome shows up that I just feel the Project has to have, this should be the final version of this document.


Fingers crossed...

Well, that sucks...

Just found out that I lost a whole weekend's worth of work without knowing it. My entries for the Cold Weather and Desert Terrain vehicle loads are gone, along with all the detailed equipment descriptions. Also gone is the stuff I did on oxygen/acetylene, and propane tanks/cylinders. I will be redoing the vehicle loads, but I am taking a break after that. The stuff for the tanks/cylinders took hours of research to compile, and I am just too frustrated right now to contemplate it.

That's the corrected version, with the missing gear put back. Oh, and a bunch of basic loads had bad weight totals. Thanks to Desert Mariner for letting me know.
