As far as I knew the colts were replaced before active service in europe.But if thats not the case then it may be possible to add them later.The Vickers are on because of their shelf life,and the cross over appeal.Also they look a lot more interesting unmanned compared to the colt(at table level they can look very stick like in 28mm).

The CEF had Colts when they first arrived in France - they were found to be prone to jamming and were replaced with the more reliable Vickers around 1916.  I agree that the Vickers would be more useful:  due the nature of trench warfare, the CMMGB tended to dismount their MGs for action, and about the only time the Autocars saw actual combat was during the German spring offensive of 1918, when they mounted Vickers.  The rest of the time, the Autocars were mostly used to transport the MG brigade around.

That's cool you could hook several together to make a land train
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.
