However, consider that in the game "a BIG map" covers an area only 2.5 x 2 miles with half that being the enemies part of the front so at best a big map may may represent a mile or so from the actual fighting and most people don't use a really big map to fight on nor the maximum number of turns

This is what happens when I rush an answer.

IDK what I was thinking when I quoted those numbers but I should have checked what I wrote . 4.9 X 6.2 miles would be the actual area on the map if you use 50 metres as the standard. Use 50 yards as the standard and it's 4.5 X 5.6 miles. Either way it's more than what I quoted.

There are no plans at all to allow vehicles to be towed or unstuck or repaired during a game. All that is assumed to be handled after the battle.

Just an observation guys. I can get sidetracked from a thread's subject matter all too easily myself, and most of the time I don't mind sidetracking occuring because of that, but I do find it rather ironic that RERomine took up the suggestion to start another thread to handle that sidetrack, and yet much, if not all of this last page has anything to do with ammo trucks. It's fine by me, as I hate starting new threads anway, but I thought y'all might find that at least amusing. I understand how the sidetrack I was involved in was much lengthier but the same thing appears to be going on here, just in another direction.

Did we corrupt you guys that much?

Yes. it's getting a bit boring.

If people cannot keep the thread to the topic of ammo truck use, then I think we will have to lock it.
