I'm adding a small addition to the camp wars system as discussed previously: the distinction between Light Squad CR and Heavy Squad CR.

As you deploy CR on the map from your camp, it loses effectiveness (i.e., the CR reduces) based on the tiles you pass through.. as discussed previously.

However, you'll be able to independently deploy 'Light-Squad CR' and 'Heavy Squad CR'. The light CR will reduce less over distance than the heavy CR. What it will then mean in battle is that the light CR can only be spent on smaller vehicles.

It will be possible to have both heavy and light CR deployed to the same tile. Your actual battle squad will be formed from both.

Probably based on the vehicles' scout rating (which is different to bulk or weight).. it mostly reflects how good they would be at crossing difficult terrain at reasonable speed and without undue damage.  I should probably refer to these as "fast" and "slow" rather then "light" and "heavy":

FAST
-----
Wurzel
Squadcar
Bullet
Buccaneer
Moray
Landrunner
Dustup
Sunrise
Offroad Buggy
McKenzie
Vampire
Corghette
Chomper
Phoenix
Cougar
Turin
Flash
Pickup
DeVille

SLOW
-----
Roadrunner
Cadrona
Semi Tractor
Sonic
McFly
Fiftyseven
Osprey
Big Pickup
Windsor II
Pike
Hotrod
Two Axle Lorry
Apache
Carrier Van
Flail
Motorhome
Chevalier
Royal Eaton
Symphony
Tanker
Mercenary
Estate
Box Van
Trash Truck
Marley
Windsor
Buzzer
Racoon
Hearse
Voyager
Moose
Spirit
Fire Engine
Alpha
Ambulance
Bus
Stormer

I have, of course, randomised the vehicles within these lists rather than leave them sorted by scout rating. You'd expect nothing less.

Interesting to see if the Turin is in the right section.

Fast at crossing difficult terrain, not pure road speed. Wurzels can almost climb sheer cliffs.

I'm certainly willing to move a few, if people think they should be moved.

Purely my opinion, but I would have expected Voyagers to be up on the fast section, they're pretty good at climbing.

On of the best wilderness cars in the game, how could it be slow category ?

My point is a Turin might be a default choice for the "fast" cars. It might make the "fast" cars more interesting if it's in the slow section.

But I have no idea what they're like in PvP, but that's just my £0.02

BPU and Voyager are both decent at climbing. I can understand leaving BPU out for balance purposes, but the Voyager absolutely belongs in the fast category.

Certainly, gameplay reasons are a valid reason to move them, as well as 'realism' reasons.

many of these vehicles ability to cross rough terrain is affected by their suspension settings. Example would be the voyager since at stuck setting it can get stuck on a peak with all 4 wheels off the ground, but raise it to 105% or more and it has no trouble,

Turin is one of the best offroad / climbers in the game

box van is the best offroader in the game... it may spend 90% of its time rolling over and over but it never turtles.

Voyager needs to be in the fast category. I routinely take them up mountains at 50
