The Survivor's Guide to Latvia

Hello, all,
Inspired by a nagging question posed by the first edition
US Army Vehicle Guide's entry for the US 8th Infantry Division (Mechanized), I created a new product for TWILIGHT: 2000. Although it's based on a 1e premise, the product uses 4e rules throughout and is completely compatible with the full line of official 4e products to date.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to share them.

(Pssst. It's the "Ate Up" division, not 8-Ball.

)
(And, wow, that's big. Resizing isn't implemented on this board with the normal commands.)

I will let it slide (this time) because ... of reasons

I shared a few pages of bonus content (with dev notes) for the Latvia sourcebook on the T2k [all editions] discussion forum.

I don't know if you've considered it, but you might want to give the Gama Goat a bonus to avoid being stuck, probably allowing it to ignore -1 of terrain modifiers on the Driving roll to sprint. It will literally climb a tree, and I know one old motor sergeant who used a tree behind his motor pool as a test fixture before he let them out of the shop.
(Also, its stat block list its type as AVLB)

I had not considered that, but I definitely will. Thanks for the suggestion. What category do you think fits best? Options in the
Player's Manual include Pickup Truck, Light Truck, and Heavy Truck. I could also create a new one ("6x6 Cargo Carrier" or "6x6 Utility Vehicle", for examples).
Re the stat block, good catch. My bad. My SOP for vehicle write-ups is to cut and paste the stat block from the last vehicle I'd added and then change out the numbers for the new one, but I occasionally miss something. That's one advantage of PDF products on DrivethruRPG. They're relatively easy to update and previous buyers can download the newest version. I've already updated the SGtL three or four times. Once I correct the supplement, I'll delete the current PDF and upload the amended version.

For type, I would say light truck. Its overland speed, or lack thereof, was also be a severe strike against it. If it can't keep up with what it's supporting....
Can you give a list of what vehicles and weapons you added? I'm curious how much my own work overlaps.

And the main reason ADATS wasn't adopted by the US is the simple question of "Why am I shooting a SAM at a tank? Why is my ADA asset in a position to need to shoot a SAM at a tank?"

Cheeky response: "Buy the book and find out."
Here you go:
LAV-75, Cadillac Gage Stingray, M115 ACCV, M939 5-TON GUN TRUCK, FAST ATTACK VEHICLE, M163A1/A2 PIVADS, M106A3/M1064 MORTAR CARRIER, M60A1 AVLB, M728 COMBAT ENGINEER VEHICLE, M88A1/A2 ARV, OT-64C / SKOT 2A, ZU-23-4 SHILKA
I'm going to add the Gama Goat to the base book as it was literally an oversight.
