Resistance use of improvised civilian vehicles also extends to the role of troop transport. When the Resistance need to move large numbers of troops in expendable vehicles they usually turn to the Battle Bus. Once civilian public transports, they are up-armoured and equipped with practical additions such as extra doors. In their basic unarmed state, these vehicles are plentiful and very easily replaced. However, if a little armed protection is required it’s not uncommon for mechanics to rig up a combat dais on the back of the transport. These have room for several gunners and weapons for either anti-tank or anti-air capability.
The Bus chassis is quite large, and although it only has low Armour, its decent speed and 3 Damage Points still make it a formidable transport to deal with.
A Battle Bus can transport 4 units of Infantry, making it an excellent unit to bring in masses of troops. Try 4 units of Occupation Veterans for some potentially lethal anti-tank fire, or 4 Berserkers to make a mess of any infantry. The Battle Bus has firing ports for the infantry inside to fire from, meaning it can be used for drive-byes as well as being a regular transport. You can also choose to upgrade it with battery of Rocket Launchers or Heavy Machineguns!
