General Details
Name: Chassis Modification, Dune Buggy
Type (Category): Equipment (Other)
Reference: Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment (p. 115)
Description:
Evolved for the battlefields of the Succession Wars, many conventional vehicles and fighters drew increasingly generalized toward a certain set of standard conditions, which ultimately served to limit their options in terms of environmental functionality. Amphibious capabilities, dune buggy modifications and environmental sealing against vacuum all became optional features, available to a multitude of units, but not commonly seen on the majority.
The dune buggy modification enhances a combat vehicle’s standard motive systems with larger wheels and a higher suspension able to cope with the shifting, sandy terrain of most beaches and deserts. Rare on combat vehicles because it overspecializes the unit and can impair performance in other areas, dune buggy-modified combat vehicles nonetheless have found a home in many combat zones.
Game Rules:
Dune buggy-modified Combat Vehicles disregard the extra MP cost for sand applied to wheeled Combat Vehicles and instead move through sand terrain at a cost of 1 MP per hex. However, the modifications to said vehicles costs 1 Cruising MP in overall performance (with Flanking MP recalculated as normal).
