The Jeep.

I thought that these amazing little work horses deserved a tribute here, and while not the coolest they are the most important military vehicle ever made.

Most are legal for game play with a few of the esentic ones being level 3.

If playing with level 3 rules all are considered to have a trailor hitch on the rear.

The ones listed as having a turret use an unarmored turret assembly in these versions.

Those listed as Amphibious carry a 1 ton modification for amphibious opperation.

Thats all the Versions, i didn't use variants because each of these vehicles probibly has a unique shape to suit its job. thats because JEEP is such a broad term.

My favorite are the Bridge Layer and Rocket Support Versions. they just seem cool.

While good in concept, the fact that they still have to be so heavy due to gaps in the rules bugs me.

And to be honest, I have yet to see a version that had used multiple weapons types (MG and SRM for instance) or that was used as a bulldozer. Otherwise I like them.
