Puppets War’s Truck Makes A Military Shipment
March 28, 2017 by dracs
Recently, Puppets War released some large shipping container terrain pieces. They are following this up with something to ship them on as they have just shown off a heavy duty truck.
Both of these trucks are variants of the Pegasus Tactical Vehicle, which is already available to buy.
The two attachable trailers do look new though, and their appearance makes for some nice gaming possibilities.
Quite aside from just being a nice terrain set piece, I could well imagine a convoy scenario revolving around this. Either you could raid the trucks to get at whatever it's carrying, or try desperately to escape from a deadly ambush with the goods.
What game possibilities can you think of for these?

Nice trucks. Would be good to see next to some minis for scale.
There is a pic of a container on trailer next to a model on the puppet war store… also looks like reasonable international shipping ATM… nice…
This is one of those units everyone forgets, at least in modern / historical (I think these are sci-fi). For every tank in an army, there are ten trucks. For every helicopter, there are 20 trucks. For every fixed-win aircraft, there are perhaps a hundred trucks. WW2 Panzer divisions had 150 tanks, and 2,000 trucks (and that was in the 40s, I don’t even what to guess what the ratio is in a modern mechanized unit). If nothing else, they’d make great terrain additions to sci-fi landing fields, bases, staging points and the like. 😀
Not true, I had my 2 x Mann SV and its a good job after you blew up my CRARRV and left @johnlyons laughing at me on Skype! Hehe
Now I want 2 of these and some cargo containers for my infinity games… argh… so much terrain .. so not able to explain why the terrain costs more than my army! lol
These are very nice. I agree with @oriskany that they would make terrain parked in a motor pool on a base of some sort.
There was a cool story in an old White Dwarf – Desert Raiders attacked a truck convoy headed between Hive Spires and a Genestealer Cult burst out 🙂
