SG2's vehicle system is tacked on as an afterthought.
It's a light infantry game designed by a former light infantryman.
Personally, I would be loath to include any vehicles other than
perhaps jeeps or simillar.
Look at the ranges. If 1" = 10m, then your average 72" playing
surface is under the effective range of a GPMG. Never mind tank guns.
You want tank duels, play DS.
