Two M113 with smoke discharges.

These trucks are old, perhaps 30 years old for a few of them, all over 20 years.

Thanx guys. All of a sudden, I look around ... I have a bunch of trucks. In reality, an army would have 10 times as trucks/soft skins as armored fighting vehicles. Is that ratio correct?
Thank you.

Chris,
You know the age of your trucks is prototypical. At least it was in the Marine Corps in the 80s. On one of the Marine pages that I belong to it was being asked how old was the oldest item of gear that you had been issued was. One guy responded that he was in Motor T and that in 1986 he had to draw a new deuce and a half. He was issued one with a 1962 build date with 3 miles on the odometer.

Cool supply unit!
I’m a sucker for soft skins and the mix they add to the game - especially when no two tarps are the same color etc.

I love the different tones on the softskins. The armor is great as always.

Glad you like the pics of the trucks.
Thank you gentlemen.

A-4. Free Kuwait flown by Kuwaiti pilots during Desert Shield/Storm. These are 30 + years old in this color scheme.

Brings back memories seeing Free Kuwait on those jets - 30 years ago today we were crossing the berm into Iraq.
Tactics are the opinion of the senior officer present.

The Armata really is a big machine. Quite a change for the Russians, who have a lot of small armored vehicles. Here a few new Armatas pose with a much smaller vehicle, the 2S9 air droppable fire support vehicle.

They both have the same size crew!!!

Quite possibly, in lieu of spare road wheels, an Armata crew could simply strap one of these to the back. "Dammit, there goes the engine... break out the spare, Ivan!"

Wow - that thing looks like a beast! Your bases are great, Ben. How big are they and what material do you use?
