Editing Travel (section)

== Squad Travel ==
A squad's range is not the average of the individual vehicles' ranges.  Rather, it is the result of the following:

Where

'''w''' = total squad weight

'''mpu''' = miles per unit of fuel

'''sf''' = squad's fuel
 
'''sr''' = squad range

<del>mpu = 90900/w</del>

mpu = 135000/x

Where '''x''' = (chassis weight) + (passengers) + (installed and cargo weapons) + (installed and cargo tyres) + (armour weight) + (installed and cargo engines) + (bulk goods) + (ammo) + (fuel in fueltanks)

'''NOTE:''' A grade armour gets a special exemption from being included; it's assumed to be more aerodynamic.


sf = (fueltankunits + (fuelcans/0.12))

sr = sf * mpu

OR,

sr = ( (fueltankunits + (fuelcans/0.12)) * (90900/w) )

=== Fuel as Cargo ===
Additional fuel can be carried outside of the tank in the form of cargo.  Gas cans can be purchased in each town's Marketplace and must also be loaded into the vehicle there.  Each gas can takes up 10 capacity and provides just over 8 additional units worth of fuel to the vehicle or squad.  Three cans provide 25 units.

Alternatively, instead of carrying gas cans as cargo, a dedicated support vehicle with a very large fuel tank (40+ units) may be added to a squad to increase its overall range.  A pickup is ideally suited for this role due to its relatively small size and large capacity.  Additional ammo for the squad can also be stored in the support vehicle and distributed as needed to other vehicles in the looting phase after a successful battle.
