It was part of the original scientist tripod and is still part of it with IG’s release.

The captured lady comes with the scientist. The arm is from one of the artillery men figures with the separate arm.

Thanks Madmorgan and phgamer. Good revisions. I’ll be using some of these in future games.

What about a bonus to Industrial Might? A plus one if there's a recovery vehicle etc. Another interesting option.

More than a year ago I worked out the likely time required for a Mk II Wrecker tank to venture from the board edge, where the Workshop has to be deployed, find and retrieve a damaged tank, have the repair shop fix it (only a 30% chance per turn) and then have the tank return to the battle. Meanwhile the Wrecker tank is off to find another wreck. It seemed unlikely like the Workshop and Wrecker tank would be of any practical value in a game due to the probable multiple turns to reach and retrieve a wreck, have it repaired, and get it back into the battle. That might change if the Workshop could leave the board edge but according to the rule book it's immobile. I have the same reservations about the utility of the recovery vehicle and workshops. But the are so cool I have to have a couple. A rule rule revision may be in order. Option I can think of quickly are: —Allow the workshop to move on the table. But then why do you need a recovery vehicle? —Allow the recovery vehicle to make repairs. But then why do you need a workshop? —Allow a roll to repair for any vehicle on the table as long as there is a recovery vehicle and workshop on the table. Perhaps with a range, like 24 inches. —Add a breakdown roll to tank movement that the recovery vehicle gives a modifier to. (I don’t like this one because it adds complication to the game.) —Remove the recovery rule because in “reality” only minor issues could be addressed on the battlefield. Then limit their use to scenario specific use or campaign games that track damage. I’m not advocating any of these right now. Have to think about it.

possible clamper as a recovery type??? That is a possibility. But the parts I have include a plow blade and crane. So I think I’ll start with a Mk II.

I can see both sides of the argument for use of ambulances; rally bonus or recover casualties. I think we will play test the rally bonus next game.
For armed ambulances maybe say they cannot function as medics the turn they shoot.
And I have an ammo carrier and fuel tender assembled on my bench waiting for paint.
And I have the crane parts now to convert a steam tank into a recovery vehicle.

I also use the U-Haul glass and dish boxes to store my tripods. I cut the cardboard glasses storage part to 6 inches tall and tape the pieces together. (There is not much left of the interlocking tabs at this height.) I also tape the shortened cells to a cardboard base so the tripod bases cannot get stuck under the cardboard walls of the cells. The Dominator is 6.5 inches tall so it is stored on its side in a block of 4 inch tall pluck foam.
I have never had a problem with tripods getting damaged in this storage system, but to be fair I have not transported them much since nearly all the AQ games are played at my house. They do rattle around a bit and I will take your experience to heart and wedge some foam around the heads if I take them very far.

I just checked another forum I posted the Overseer pic on and it is gone there too. But the pics of the ambulances are still there. So I guess losing them from my computer did affect the post.

I had a computer problem and I think I lost these pictures. But I didn’t think that would’ve affected the posts.

Yes, I posted using the “add picture” button on the forum page. Your pic of the leg looks pretty close to what I got. I sanded down the off sets.

The crosses are decals (water transfers) from Skytrex. They are stock number CD DEC-25. I don’t remember now who the distributor was.
