Buying Vehicles

[.45cultist]

If you're running a civvies campaign, purchasing a humvee or M35 is an option for a prewar collector.

I voted to allow, but what was left unsaid was subject to GM's Discretion.

Actually that's a great idea to add to a civilian campaign if you want to add something unique - civilians have lots of stuff they collect - you could use that for instance to add a Ferret (all you need is a machine gun and its fully operational after all), a Sherman or Stuart tank (and making them use their money to buy ammo for it just like a real collector would have had to do), or other vehicles that collectors might have

for an example look at the Caribbean module - sitting in a garage is a fully restored M113 APC lacking only a machine gun to arm it and if I remember right a battery that a collector had restored and then died from the flu

In the TW games I have played, the GM assigned vehicles. In one, we got good old fashioned 2 1/2 ton WWII refurbs. Thank goodness we had a couple of good mechanics. Another game we were issued NOTHING. We had to hoof our stash out of the area. That was HYSTERICAL. Folks had bought TONS of stuff. Then you had to pick and choose what you could carry.

My character was a relative new GI. IIRC he had 6 months experience. SO, not too much cash available. I concentrated on some extra ammo, food and first aid equipment.
