BIG Z1776
Baboon with a MAAWS
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
A simple but very utilitarian truck designed to be the life-blood of the Crossroads Army's massive logistics base, capable of moving ammunition, fuel, equipment, supplies, and personnel to and from their destinations rapidly and efficiently. Its 10x10 all-wheel drive capability means this vehicle can follow its combat forces into most terrains, but it is not rock-crawler, and it and its drivers, a separate military occupational specialty, are much happier and more efficient when on solid prepared roads or easy-to-traverse open terrain. This mainstay logistics status means the Mover numbers nearly a hundred million vehicles in its production run, and it is up for sale should any civilian or government buyers be interested. RPers will need to understand that this vehicle, despite its size and MRAP classification is no combat vehicle, THEY DO NOT BELONG ANYWHERE NEAR THE FRONTLINES. However, they are not marshmallows, they are armored, it is deceivingly difficult to bring such a large vehicle to a stop except with some anti-armor weaponry, and with its armored cab and ten wheels it may take quite a few hits to make such a vehicle come to a stop. And normally, these vehicles will always have their much more lethal cousins in the same convoy alongside infantry support on escort duty, and quite often, air and artillery support is not far away, so any ambush on a CRAF convoy of these vehicles needs to be done with careful thought paid to getting it done quickly, because when CRAF Movers sound the alarm help usually comes.
