Just took this off my list as I can't support this as an "ADD" or "MOD" as my confidence level is very low that British MOD will get this vehicle for SPEC Ops or Recon work anytime soon. So here's the TMV 6x6.

Another interesting vehicle I think we'll see in the game because I foresee some success for it the MBOMBE.

Since the EFV looks like it may be dead and neither the AAVP or "armored" HMMWV really cuts the mustard as an APC (stress on the "armored" part) its nice to see the budget being used for something fairly worthwhile.

Now...if they only came in an amphibious variant...
