Let's talk Jeeps!

really?..you’re looking at this…

just a joke, eh!  :-D :-D from this post

@Imperious:

The question then becomes how many airfields did say japan build after 1941?

If this is in a really small scale in terms of investment it becomes like a slippery slope….why don’t we include military hospitals?, submarine pens, jeeps, machine guns, cavalry, Q ships, mess halls, Beer halls, bunkers, etc…

It doesn’t really fit the role of “jeep” but it does fit into the game nicely……

[tin_snips]

No need to thank me, just some positive Karma would be nice.

It seems I’ve gained quite a few haters after I ripped FMG’s new Unit Counter Chips project out from the clutches of Rainbow Bright.

I meant it was made for the MB version, not the Nova version. 
Nova version used paper, MB plastic pieces.

o sorry

[Upside-down_Turtle]

no prob

You know, a 1-1-2-3 jeep actually makes a good justification for truck pieces being Motorized Infantry at 1-2-2-4, does it not?

Although, were there really whole units made up of jeeps?  In North Africa, maybe.  Perhaps Trucks ought to 1-1-2-3 as well.

Well, it seems that every army needs its fodder units, so I would rather have 1 armor unit 3-3-2-5 and 1 jeep unit 1-1-2-3 for a total IPC cost of 8 than have 2 motorized infantry at 2-2-2-4 at the same IPC cost of 8, because when you lose the first hit, then you still have a 3 attacking/defending.  Now, if you give the motorized infantry the ability to be upgraded by artillery units, then it may be more balanced, but getting the artillery to keep up with them is a different matter.

A jeep? AND a truck?

OK IMO the only use for such playing pieces is jeep could be used for motorized inf and the truck for something like a support unit IF somebody wanted to concoct a chain-of-supply house rule for linking ICs with Forward Edge Battle Areas.

Otherwise, what two distinctively different units are they supposed to represent?

A division composed entirely of staff officers and a division of storesmen?
