The Rook.....
« on: 09 September 2014, 07:27:45 AM »

Looks very interesting. Good for those modern day games.
Question now is, who is converting a Bobcat to use on the battlefield?  :-)

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

...provide room for four fully dressed officers

I sure hope so! I wouldn't want to be raided by undressed officers! ;)

Well looks like a Rook will be going into the woods of PA looking for the guy who killed one state trooper and wounded another.

It lacks something important!

On the front plate of the battering ram, it should read: 'Have a nice day' :D


And what about 'PA Woods'? I'm assuming PA is a state, but I'm having visions of power armour clad trees. Imagine Groot being inducted into a Space Marine chapter... lol
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Please don't tell me you're one of "those" people (sigh).

Looks like a good small vehicles...wonder how it holds up to explosives etc.  Unfortunately things like this are very expensive for departments/agencies to purchase.  This is why agencies/departments are buying old busted MRAPs instead.

The roof-top loading platform looks pretty damn innovative/cool.  Definitely a nice asset.
