Vehicle Cluster to serve as a Modern Version of a Long Range Desert Group
« on: September 19, 2013, 07:14:05 PM »
I was going through my Tech Readouts an in Tech Readout 3085 and when I saw the Zephyros. It just hit me the Rat Patrol. I know the history behind it thanks to Starbug. I was wondering besides using the Zephyros what other vehicles could be used???

the Shandra from 3145, Winterhawk from 3145 Stiener, Krugar Combat Car from TRO 3145 Davion,

Darter Scout Car, TRO 3075

Utility Vehicles from TRO 3060

Centepede from TRO 3058

Packrat LRPV, and Skulker from TRO 3039

MOST likely though what you would be looking at is mechanized infantry, hauling support machine guns and support autocannons.

Considering the Desert Groups equipment was unique to them and was highly customized for their environment and quite hardy

I'll take any of the below

The Bandit "Warthog" Hovercraft from XTRO Gladiators - armoured motive system sounds good to me

Galleon Maxwell from XTRO Marik - again armoured motive sytems, sponsons and cargo

Centipede Commando from XTRO Davion - seeing a trend... another armoured motive system this one is the scout with the ECM

Enyo XR from XTRO Clans is your support (again armoured motive system)

Cobra Transport VTOL

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Yes I do. The vehicles recommended by both JPArbiter and Dragon Cat would make a great cluster.
