Default Re: Captured vehicles

Where can you buy captured vehicles in companies? Most are available in 1s & 2s that I have seen.
For the niche times they are used why bother but I suppose if you wanted to ideas.
Ammo not really worth bothering about it could easily have a full load scavanged though perhaps APCR should be reduced. Keeping it running is probably just as hard or harder.
Perhaps reduce speed by 1 to reflect this & crews lack of time with the vehicle.
Reduce experience of the unit to reflect lack of training on the vehicle.
If its a good bit of kit (Tiger for instance) give a big morale boost.

Then again you could do the same with say the T-34s that were driven straight out of the factories into battle sometimes by the guys that built them.
My view judgement call for a scenerio designer to add flavour, also I do believe some companies were composed entirely of captured equipment.

You are not talking about stuff like Czech & Italian gear that the Germans used I pressume
