The Role of Vehicles

[Olefin]

My first campaign the character vehicles we had were an M1 tank and a truck - we had NPC's with us as well that had their own vehicles - and our GM was a guy who really enjoyed the military side of the game - so we saw a LOT of vehicle combat - tank versus tank and tank versus other armored vehicles - by the time we finally got her back to the dock our tank had quite the accumulation of battle damage - and we spent a lot of time either brewing fuel, stealing fuel or getting damn lucky and finding fuel

and ammo got pretty damn low - we pulled into the docks with three main gun rounds left (and that was after we had bought some rounds in Krakow as well as obtained some from various sources in our trip thru Poland and Germany)

It is so fun

Yep the story driver of NEED.
but I guess you can use food and small arms ammo the same way.
It is just so damn fun to blow things up.
I am thinking of Kelly's hero's here but man would a caravan like that goofball played by Donald Southerland be fun.
I have got to have a LAV-25 C and C with the tent and all.
Stripped of com gear but with a beer crock and other needed items for survival.

Oh I agree - that tank was a lot of fun - we didnt sneak our way across the bridge and the town with the three tanks and 200 guys guarding it - we shot our way thru (and brewed up all three tanks in the process) and gave the one guy who tried to nail us with an AT missile a .50cal chest operation for free

and some of the most fun we had was paying that HQ a visit a la what Oddball did in Kelly's Heroes to that railyard - got to love killing enemy officers

And why are you not playing

I've just signed for the site - I'm on RPOL myself, but I may use that to keep track of things.

I think Dogger has the right idea, that sounds exactly how I would play things.
