After the Bomb: Rolling Thunder

Unread post by Library Ogre »

So, I was talking with my 7 year old about tanks (he didn't realize how big they were!), and a thought occurred to me:

Given the number of tanks out in the world today, between military, guard, and police forces, has anyone had a Road Hogs character rolling around in a tank?

Sort of.

I did have a game in which an NPC faction did have a handful of armoured vehicles they used for special occasions.

But, never was it a PC vehicle. Probably for the best, you could run a family car for a week on the fuel used by a tank in an hour.

Not exactly a tank.....but had a Ferret Armoured Car, if that counts?

the base rules didn't include tanks or any sort of military vehicle, so it would have to be homebrew. though since the modern weapons book, HU, and Systems Failure all had standard stats that could be used it seems like you could easily do it.

i'd imagine that tanks would be hard to keep going post-apoc, they're not easy to keep running in current times. but Humvees, HEMMT's, and other wheeled military vehicles would make for really interesting war-rigs.
