    Yes, vehicles are important, but they can also be overwhelming. In a
squad level game like Stargrunt II, having more than 2 or 3 vehicles per
side is overkill. Stargrunt II is for handling those interesting squad
on
squad level actions where vehicles can't go and so aren't present. For
example, assaulting positions in woods or cities, and similar
vehicle-hostile areas.
    Dirtside II is the better system for massed vehicles. Actually, in
my
humble opinion, Dirtside II and the rest of the GZG rule systems are the
best in the world.
