I agree. I can see some reasoning behind recalling Trucks immediately after unloading. But simply have them vanishing is odd. And maybe a bit over the top IMHO.'Mobile Trucks without Passengers are immediately removed from play'
I've never seen such as SSR before. It just seems odd to me. I can see immediate recall but immediate removed from play? I guess they magically vanish as soon as the Passengers unload
:1 Driving trucks off board is not a very interesting use of a player's time. ASL is a game, not a simulation.
Uh-hum. I remember all those nights when I had no sleep at all because the time for it was taken up by driving trucks offboard.
I have no objection to this in principle. It's roughly what happens when reinforcements enter from a "side" of a map layout anyway. But with exiting trucks it's a clear win. In real games I frequently take off a recalled vehicles (whether recalled by SSR or by rule) and say, "I'm driving this off. Any interest?" Almost always there isn't any. I think this is a perfect example of a scenario where I would do this, and all the SSR does is formalize that.
If the scenario designer had not just removed the trucks, he would have probably recalled them after they unloaded. In both variations if you want to keep your trucks around you have to leave someone on them.
Just for the record, his name is Mattias.
Often thought of ways to mediate the usefulness of such vehicles (ht included) where at the same time retaining options for their use by a player. The immediate RECALL of such assets harks to the designer playing the game for me for "reality" (yeh, I know we're supposed to hate that word in ASL) sake, but in essence it doesn't bother me deeply. One idea I've thrown around in that expanse of a nearly empty brain cavity is to increase the CVP of such vehicles to an additional CVP if having towing capability and additional CVP(s) for each 10PP(FRU) that the vehicle is able to transport but allow the player to exit a FBE at no CVP loss should he desire. Of course this only works in the case of a scenario imposing a CVP penalty on the said player. All in all however, the immediate removal of such assets does have the feel of "Beam me outta here Scotty!" feel.
They used the same SSR with Cinderella's Pumpkin Carriage.'Mobile Trucks without Passengers are immediately removed from play'

I am with JR on this. Who among us haven't just said "this recalled tank drives off" or similar? I thought it was a bit odd at first, but liked it for counter clutter and simplicity. Thought about keeping a single unit on a truck just to keep it around for a last ditch grab attempt, but ended up dropping the guy off.
I hope the lords of this world allow you to mistake his name 'once'. I was thankfully corrected by one of the fine gentlemen from Chicago.Just for the record, his name is Mattias.
Hindrance only occurs for Wrecks/AFV (D9.4) : non wrecked trucks generate no hindrance.
