what is this units role in the game?

[Upside-down_Turtle]

just to have a unit for the truck

Like an infantry, only moves 1 more and costs 1IPC more.

[Imperious Leader]

This is same as mechanized infantry.

Since everyone seems sold on the 2-2-2-4 Mech inf for half-track, I think now the best concept for “Motorized Infantry” (That is, distinct from mechanized: mobile, but no light armor), is the “Jeep” concept from AA Accessories.

Defend 1

Move 2

Now, of course, not every nation had “Jeeps”, but had other modes of mobile transport, like motorcycles, or cars (French in WWI).  Using different sculpts, and renaming it Motorized Infantry, I think this piece fits into the game nicely.

[Upside-down_Turtle]

another thing is that a transport can hold 2 each, just like an infantry.

Here’s our WAW rules.

Mechanized infantry=

Move 2 (units can retreat after one round of combat).
att = 2
def= 2
Cost = 4

(Japan,france and China cannot produce mechanized infantry).
