Speed of Motorized/Mechanized infantry
« on: 14 April 2020, 13:48:45 »
It is my understanding that Motorized Infantry have vehicles like motorcycles and/or Jeeps, and Mechanized Infantry have equivalents of Humvee or half-track. So why these infantry types move so much slower than their historical equivalents in vehicles from 1000 years before?
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights errant, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

No reason. Just how the rules ended up.
The solution is just ignore Paul.
