Another vehicle, this time the MASH Truck designed by Bishop.

I felt the original design had a rather boring shape so I asked Bishop to play up the angles it had into a much wider vehicle, more fitting of its described operating room capacity. He also added RV style slide out side sections.

The shape is a little funky but I think it works well in 3D. Certainly makes for a more interesting vehicle shape than a slightly angled RV.

Add another to the objective and map dressing pile!

Just a reminder though I am sure you know: The Red Cross is illegal to use in the basic form, so just a heads up lol

Honestly, boring, believable utility is one of the things I like about certain BT art. Most of my least favorite 'mechs are the ones where I don't believe the joints could actually bend in three dimensions. I also like the old coolant truck, which doesn't look much different from an aviation refueling vehicle. Ah well. I suppose it's too much to ask for each and every entry to hit my personal aesthetic sense.

Will Battlefield Support : Objectives be one of each vee ?

So... Did the inner sphere actually have respect for the rules of armed conflict when it comes to marked medical personnel and equipment? Because the fact it comes default equipped with obvious weapon systems that disqualify it from protections makes me wonder what Hell the Ares conventions were supposed to be about.

TRO 3025 writeup says that MASH Trucks are rarely if ever fired on intentionally because they treat the wounded of both sides, although attempts are made to steal them sometimes and the lasers are meant to deter that. It also says some doctors have the armament removed on ethical grounds. The Ares Conventions never had any real force, though. The Star League was the first to abrogate them.

Would this width fit on a road? That has to be a consideration.

Now just waiting for that coolant truck and a J-27!

No, he's right. Even mobile games have been told to remove red cross symbols. It violates the Geneva Convention, of all things.

Malintus

Ah, but the sketch is in black and white, and therefor cannot be red. Checkmate Geneva lol

Hah. I considered modeling a cross onto the model, but refrained, so that'll be up to the player to paint on.

If the MASH were a more limited capability vehicle I'd say a more classic RV shape would fit your reasoning well. But the lore says it has 5 operating tables, that takes a lot of space on top of equipment storage and such. On the final model it's still rather cramped. Wouldn't have pushed the beetle shape just because ;) I do agree though, we can't hit it for everyone every time.

ShimmeringSword

Would require two lanes. Lore seems to lean into urban centers having some accommodations for mech movement which absolutely need two lanes of space, so I'd think it not too inhibiting. It'd be hardened enough to plow over street lamps and such if needed.

TIM STRAUVEN

All right.. so a pair of MASH, a pair of MLT + trailer and a Mobile HQ.. unless you 've got something else up your sleeve to bring it up to 8 bases ?

Looks a bit like a ladybug.

Steven Cross

And the Manticore or Von Luckner or the Rommel/Patton, we need a generic 'trooper' tank too.

Joshua Bressel

Anthony, I really hope you do a 2-pack of this, deployed and not deployed!
