We moved a couple of Offroad Buggies from Somerset to Elmsfield, and now they're ready for Scouting.

However... at approximately 50 CR each, they're not quite "big" enough for a "full" patrol.

We're not really at liberty to buy any more vehicles right now -- gang leader's orders -- but we WOULD like a few more buggy-drivers to join us for a patrol or two!

I guarantee it won't be boring!

Buggies have good speed as long as you dont try to use one of those ridiculous 0.6L Super-Compact engines. A lawnmower motor would be better than one of those.

Oddly enough... buggies are MUCH faster on road than off. I could not for the life of me get past 60 mph on sand, but 100+ was no problem on roads.

Rocket spawns are the only thing that worries me. Two hits and I'm blue, 4 hits and I'm red.

Also keep in mind that we will outnumber the enemy. Guaranteed.

I believe that my name is 'Mud' and tales from the 'Punchbowl' are ready for action.

After a couple of ridiculously bad experiences with Buggies on Elmsfield Scouts, I've decided this is a terrifically bad idea.

I sold the buggies, and I'm shipping the miraculously tough Marie Diaz back to Somerset where she can train in something less suicidal.

My next vehicle in Elmsfield will probably be a bad-ass SUV... Hammerstein needs to feel the pain.
