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?

[RandyT0001]

the mass is 32 then I subtract the 12 for the 20
then divided the 20 by 3 to determine the dex adjustment of 6.6667 that is subtracted from the standard starting dex of 20 as listed on page 249.
I just rounded it up to get the 14 as stated in the book so I guess all are rounded up.

Does that answer this question?

This is also on page 175.

There's another advantage that the 311 has that both the HMMWV and the M1951 Jeep lack: the 311 was not in the US (or Canadian or Soviet) military inventory. Therefore, teams could tool around without looking like the Army and (perhaps more importantly) without looking like they were trying to look like the Army. In the 3-5 year planning scenario there'd almost certainly still be some active Guard units doing their thing so the Project planners would have wanted to do whatever they could to give their teams a chance to say "Hey. This is who we are and what we're trying to do." BEFORE getting shot at.

As for the usual bitching about the 311 in Damocles... Prime Base would probably not have woke the team up in the Winter anyway, so from an operational planning standpoint, nothing to see here. The way it plays out it acts as an additional clue that Something Is Wrong Here. There aren't any rules for teams getting hypothermia. Someone made that crap up. It just emphasizes that it's freaking cold and gives the team incentive to make contact with Wittsend.

Unfortunately, it has a .50 M2HB loaded in the ring turret. Regardless of whether it is an XR-311, HMMWV, or a LandRover....... if the Team was woken in the 3-5 year plan I don't see any surviving Law Enforcement, National Guard, or Federal Troops allowing them to operate. They would be imprisoned and their equipment confiscated. Whatever the altruistic tale they could spin would be disregarded, ignored, laughed at, or treated as a lie.
