Recovery vehicle and workshop

My, My.

I have this vision of this vehicle in CGA combat with STG's demon tanks.

Bully!!

Gunny:

I would tend to think that the battle scenarios are too short to allow much in the way of fortification and emplacement construction. If they aren't there as part of the setup, they aren't going to be built.

The engineers should be able to lay a hasty minefield of traps/mines on the surface within the timeframe. This surface layout is not likely to surprise an attacker, but it acts as a barrier to deter moving through the area.  Although, if willing to accept the risk that there are unseen mines as well, they can enter the mined area...

The engineers should also be able to wire up a building for a hasty demolition in just a turn or two...

I've always had a problem with construction equipment in combat. Yes, construction Engineers, Pioneers and Seabees would fight and were tough fighters. But they were better at their work.

Construction equipment would mean that the Martians broke through and the Engineers are responding to a raid with a hasty defence, or got surprised.

Half-built defences manned by tough, desperate defenders.

A convoy of civilians and engineers "circle the wagons" and get ready to give Marvin a headache

Of course, there's also the option of an assault on a Martian redoubt, where the combat engineers are on the offensive and trying to dig Marvin out of his hole.

Here are some views of the finished product. I am going to make some workshop trucks next and will post the pics here.

Here are the workshop vehicles to go with the recovery vehicles. They are Japanese trucks from Flames of War. I picked them because they don't look too modern.

Very nice!
