Default XR-311 ....... 3-2-1 Discuss.

Ok here IT is the Projects jeep added to 3rd edition pre-HMMWV.

Pro and Cons in Morrow Project play? Team use or abandoned? What did you add to it? Drop it and replace with the HMMWV?

I always thought the XR-311 was absolutely the wrong vehicle for Operation Damocles........ Including the special rules for PCs to get out and move so they don't become hypothermic or suffer frost bite.

In warmer southern climates, yes. The XR-311 lacks armor, though it can support Team members with crew served weapons. Makes an excellent radio relay station. Damn if I wasn't surprised that the Army radio was INSTALLED into the DASH........ crap, how simple and smart was that?

I think I will keep it in my games (should I get to run some F2F) and make the HMMWV available as an option for later cached teams.

For my newer project HMMWV A3 series all the way.

I am currently looking for the weights of HMMWV standard accessories (like seats, doors, etc) to allow a team to build up their vehicles based on local conditions.

This will be an vehicle extension of my equip a character "shopping cart" type system. I have been working on it on an off for a long time but I may finally have some time to work on it soon.

Probably in the -20 or -30 maintenance manuals. That is where I would look first. This and the BII.

It probably fulfills the quota of "bought on the Surplus Market" the Project had. Would have been better to just get a ton of old Willy Jeeps and use those instead.

How about the Lamborghini LM002 which was developed from the Lamborghini Cheetah which almost a copy of the XR-311 made by FMC

Make sense civilian SUV made till 1993, given the status of the COT it would drawn to much attention if they bought some

It has doors, an armour kit and a weapons mounting kit
