They are just CVPs for the other guy to get. Hide them.

They are also good for messing with routs.

I don't believe Unarmed and Unarmored vehicles matter for routing - that was a trick back in the old SL days (does that reference make me old? >.<)
Hmmm, didn't think about that!!! I wasn't even thinking about the victory point angle. The trucks have inherent drivers.... so I guess they could drive behind enemy to prevent routing in their direction... yes? I have SOooo much to learn.

I read this story from the battle of the bulge: This American was driving a jeep with another GI and when they turned this corner they drove right into a German infantry column. The Germans were kinda shocked at first cause he was driving in the middle of their parade. The American immediately drove high speed into the nearest tree and they surrendered. The Germans were like 'you crazy Americans are bad drivers'. The American explained to his buddy he figured they were dead so he might as well wreck the jeep!

Yes, trucks without riders are considered 'broken units' and have no effect on rout, dm, wall advantage, reverting enemy movement, concealment loss/gain, etc...
With a 6+1 rider though...
They are also good for the 1 fp overrun.
A keep loaded with a half squad makes a fast reserve, able to sprint to threaten an undefended vc location very far away.

Untrue. A10.51 "A routing unit may never move Adjacent to a Known enemy unit..."

No. It is simply a SW being portaged and must be unloaded and assembled to be used.

Yeah - those trucks are pretty much just VP for the German. Hide them or get them out of there ASAP. They a re included more for flavor than for game mechanics. Just played this one over the holidays - still holds up after all these years.

I always liked this scenario. No indecision on where to set up. The scenario came about before railroad overlays so there is none. Tickets, please!
Untrue: A10.51 "A routing unit may never rout toward a Known armed enemy unit...unarmored vehicles without PRC or weapons aren't considered armed

A10.51A routing unit may never move ADJACENT to a Known enemy unit, unless in doing so it is leaving that enemy unit's Location.

I remember a few games where a truck(s) 1fp overrun was crucial.lol. Sometimes a 1 -1 on a road hex does some damage and the DEFENDER might be scared to shoot at them for fear of wrecks or burning wrecks.
A10.5 During the RtPh a broken unit not in Melee may not remain in the same Open Ground hex in the Normal Range and LOS of a Known non-melee enemy unit/its-SW/Gun, nor-regardless of terrain-may it end a RtPh ADJACENT to or in the same location with a Known enemy unit that is both unbroken and armed.
Journal 3 article, pg. 64 Keep on Truckin, Perry Cocke
"Since they are unarmed (A10.5), they cannot force a Unit to Rout. They are considered "broken" for all Concealment purpose (A12.1), neither denying Concealment nor forcing its loss. Trucks are not good order. They cannot claim wall advantage. It used to be that trucks could DM units by moving ADJACENT and prevent units in LOS from Routing towards them and control the Location they solely occupy but that has been eracticized."

Apparently you cannot see the different applications where what I pointed out would become pertinent, and I have no desire to enlighten you.
