Emperor Mongoose
Here is my first vehicle. Note the specs are not a 100% match for the real thing. I used the rules as written and thus the specs are slightly different. But I hope I captured the “flavor” of the vehicle. IMTU I would use this for supporting drop troops. The name and visual could be slightly shifted. At higher TLs this could be converted to a robotic unit that either slaves to a unit assigned to one trooper or even is smart enough to be independent.
Name: M274 Mule
The M274 Mule was introduced in 1956 to supplement both the 1/4 ton trucks ("Jeeps") and 3/4 ton trucks (Weapons Carrier Series and M37 series) in airborne and infantry battalions. The U.S. Military M274 1/2 Ton, 4X4 or "Mule," or "Mechanical Mule" is a 4-wheel drive, gasoline-powered truck/tractor type vehicle that can carry up to a 1/2 ton off-road. It was introduced in 1956 and used until the 1980s. Now it is a military vehicle collectors' item.
TL: 5
Skill: Drive (Wheel)
Agility: +1
Spaces: 3
Cost per Space: 1,440
Total Cost: 4,320
Hull: 6
Armour: 1 (Should I lower it to zero?)
Shipping Weight: 1.5 Tons
Speed, Max: Slow
Range: 200
Speed, Cruse: Very Slow
Range, Cruse: 300
Traits: Open Vehicle, Off-Roader
Equipment: Seat, Foot Rest, and Steering Column can be removed and stored under the Mule for easier storage or transportation.
Notes: The rules give this vehicle an armour rate of 1, but based on its design should it be at zero? I also used one speed band reduction (with the 10% reduction in cost) but did not receive the added space because I started it at only three spaces.
There are variants with two seats, with two stretchers, with weapons mounted on the bed (Tow Launcher or Recoilless Rifle), and with a tow hook and a winch.
