I've never tried FUBAR before and I want to give it a go for something new/different. Are there any generic vehicle stats out there? Things like a tank, apc, scout vehicle, other sort of armored fighting vehicles? I could piece some together for myself, by why reinvent the wheel? I want some basic templates to try out before I start making up my own. Thanks in advance! |

There are some stats for Grav vehicles in the files section, to go with the Grav Armor rules for them, on the Forge of War Yahoo Group (FUBAR home). |

Which vehicles are you specifically looking for? I've probably made cards for them. :) -Chris K. |

I have some 6mm data cards on my website. Maybe change the centimetres to inches. Mine also have 2 speeds, some house rules which are on my site too. link |

Just some basic stuff Chris. FUBAR doesn't have any vehicle statted up, so I was just wondering what other people's takes were on basic vehicles. Like how did you stat up a basic main battle tank? A light tank? A IFV? APC? Humvee/jeep/technical? I'm just looking to get some ideas from people who've been playing for a while about how they stat up vehicles. |

Excellent Angel! Thanks! That's what I had in mind. I'm looking at statting up BMP-2s, Bradleys, Strykers, and M1A1s for my moderns. Later I'm going to come up with stats for my WWII and Sci-fi vehicles. Like I said, any imput here is appreciated!  |

Most of those "generic" archetypes would be found in the Rebel Minis FUBAR supplement. I haven't updated it since June of last year, but it has the Merka 5, Merka 9, Wolverine APCs, and the buggies. John Bear Ross have stated that the Merka 5 is the equivalent of the modern Merkava, and the Wolverine is based on the Bradley. link An uparmored modern HMMWV would have Light Vehicle Armor (5+), and a softskin would have 6+ vehicle armor. They would be armed with a .50 cal (HMG in FUBAR core rules) or a Mk19 (Light Anti-Tank Weapon in FUBAR core rules). If you like, you could give wheeled vehicles an additional +2" of open movement on intact road surfaces. -Chris K. |

The quality of the unit cards being for FUBAR continues to impress me. Which programs are you guys using? |

Not mine! Mine are very basic. Something I decided to do as otherwise I would spend ages adding details and graphics and what not. So clean and simple and easy and quickfor me. I did them in Excel. |

I've been using PowerPoint – a byproduct of working in training centers for so many years. But it works pretty well as far as laying out basic shapes, text, background, and cropping a small photo.
I'm going to post a tutorial on Dropship Horizon sometime next month. -Chris K. |

Thanks, everyone. I'll see what I can knock together. -Chris K. |
