Leg - you keep saying stuff like "on a modern battlefield or guys carrying 50 caliber rifles"

Except by 2001 the modern battlefield machines are just about all gone - thats why old vehicles like Ferrets would be very effective

And yes there are 50's in the US - but not a lot of them - and the chances of running into one of them are pretty low - so again I would rather have a highly maneuverable armored car that can hit 60 miles per hour on the road while mounting a fifty of its own then be in a pick up or SUV

thats the beauty of the US - lots of collectors with all kinds of fun stuff to really be able to pull surprises on characters in US campaigns believably - "where the hell did they get a Sherman tank (Ferret)(Saracen)(M8 Greyhound)(etc..)?? " is something you can definitely see happening in the US in 2001 - or for that matter being found in the hands of the local Milgov, Civgov or New America units

"dont worry guys all those New America guys have is small arms - they can't hurt us" you say as your M113 turns the corner - and comes face to face with an operational Sherman tank and two Ferrets courtesy of the military vehicle collector who decided to join up with NA
