 HUSH... I had to fudge some rules to make it work smoothly. And the five foot grid is just for now for display. It would take me 3 months to write every single calculation to follow all the rules in the book. Just getting a working armor vehicle combat system going. But I think it will work well enough. BEER ME NOW!!

Armor Penetration works. Am going to ignore if a vehicle gets hit in the rear and call it a catastrophic vehicle kill. IGNORE the sizing...

For my PC's the Humvee they started out with in Escape From Kalisz was *THE* most prized possession they had. They went to *great* lengths to keep it out of danger. going so far as to park/hide it well outside of a town or objective and camouflage the shit out of it then proceed (miles if necessary) on foot to complete the mission.
While it was equipped with an M2HB, they avoided as best they could situations where they needed it for direct fire support...but of course they did need it a few times, like it or not. The humvee (yes, they had a name for it; they called themselves 'Wilson's War Whores' after Major Doug Wilson the team senior officer...and the humvee was 'The Old Whore' if memory serves) they knew not only carried all their gear and supplies, which they would have to hump if it went down...it also offered a quick withdraw from an area that got to hot if need be. It never took heavy direct fire...but lots of small arms stuff which caused all kinds of repair heartburn...amazingly they had it thru the whole damn European campaign...until 'The Last Train to Clarksville'.... They had been shanghaied into 'one more' offensive operation against the Soviet forces before being 'released' for the bug-out to get to Bremerhaven for the ships back to the US...They ended up as part of an assault on the ruins of Warsaw (again) which they saw as a completely useless endeavor with the war all but over (as far as they were concerned.) And it was...I am after all an 'evil GM' on occasion. Long story short, after they bugged out, in eastern Germany they came across a pretty shot up bridge...it was pretty iffy the Humvee could get across...but they were running late for the boats home...so everyone but the driver dismounted and walked across with what supplies they could carry...sadly, the driver PC didn't make all his rolls...he got out, but 'The Old Whole' went into the river below...needless to say it was hard on the fellas... But they made it to the boats...but only just.

In the campaign that I ran in college the LAV-25's mechanical unreliability became a central theme (and humor device) for escape from Kalisz, dealing with Baron Czarny, and the trip to Bremerhaven. It was a stark and hilarious contrast to the reliable deuce and a half that two Louisiana National Guard NPC's drove to carry the PC's worldly possessions.

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)
