For some reason it didn't list the infantry squad as cargo, so that was a quick edit to the list. It's pretty rudimentary, lightly armed, and mostly only good for taking infantry places they don't really feel like going. In its favor, it's got some pretty good range, and it does have enough armor to take a few rounds of heavy machine gun fire or the occasional missile. Not great, but it's only 4.5 tons total, which means you can transport a lot of them. A standard platoon would have four of them, providing a total weight of 18 tons per platoon of foot infantry you transport with this - though you'll have to play with squad rules, in that case.
I put this together as an attempt to generate a support vehicle that would match the stats of a Heavy Motorized Platoon, but couldn't make that work. So I looked around for some APC pictures, and came across this from Macross, and used that as the basis of the idea. I always had a soft spot for six-wheeled vehicles anyway, so it worked out nicely.
