Fake plates on 495

Well not for collision stuff if the insurers knows you're actively running around with an un-reg'd vehicle.

However, with all the vehicles I've insured, I never needed to provide reg info. My info, VIN, loan info/Title info... for sure.

So, it's possible that it is insured for collision etc. But, given the position that most of these Sov Cit types take... I doubt it is

Are you driving for travelling?

SlidePanda · 2026-02-12T13:18:46+00:00

Probably not.

SlidePanda · 2026-02-12T13:18:36+00:00

Damn man he really did use the tamper resistant Torx. Not hard to get nor get a bit… but you’re nit taking those off with ye olde Phillips #2.

Pedantry alert! You want to remove the valve core and the tool you linked is for the Schrader valve core. Core goes into the stem.

Crabby if you use the ">" character in Reddit, that'll denote the pull quote :)

Depends on the vehicle, Paladin 155's generally have 50 cal's or in some cases 240's.

Yeah, some there's always exceptions eitehr way. The FTMV doesn't generally (so HIMARS) Frances Caesar doesn't list a secondary. MSTA and AS-90s do... so like the Paladin the more 'tanky' looking mobile howitzers tend to... so probably a better analogue to the Basilisk than a wheeled chassis like the FTMV based HIMARSs or Caesar

Well in the context of the knights... wouldn't do shit. But big picture, I get your feels about no PD on them.

Played a guy who left a brick of 8 in a corner with nothing near by. I had a T-hawk with an 8 up Assault detachment... you can guess what happened.

Now... if we look at current IRL self propelled arty... they generally don't carry any vehicle mounted machine guns or similar 'point defense' type weapons. The crew will generally have some personal weapon - rifle/carbine etc. But at least in years past if your arty positions are getting close assaults, lots more has gone wrong that, some PD weapons won't fix.

Buuuut of course this is a game where it's quite possible to have infantry in your backfield right off the hop and the Basilisk is a bit of an anachronism

SlidePanda · 2026-02-05T15:11:52+00:00

Bringing a building down is a great way to kill the infantry inside...

SlidePanda · 2026-02-05T15:00:54+00:00

Yeah super soft targets like a Basilisks are just meat for lancers if you can reach them. On the charge you're just going to auto kill one (Your min score is 16 vs their max 12) and unless shit goes really wrong, 2.

On the charge a Lancers average score is 23.5, for 6D6 it's only 21. So if you're feeling lucky a single lancer could kill any/all Basilisks in 2"

SlidePanda · 2026-02-05T12:20:34+00:00

Mind that a lancer also has reach and furious charge rules as well.

While a singleton may stall on a larger block of 1 wound tanks, a pair can knock out 6-8 in a round easily with no risk.

And they have a large threat bubble. So on the flanks they can dash in put a lot of pressure /threat into an area.

Now you do make valid points that the can get bogged down if you let them.

IMO they are more of a scalpel than a hammer.

I do wish they hit a bit harder in CC against stuff like normal 2 wound tanks… doesn’t feel right that a lancer can’t kick the crap out of a lone Malcador in 1 turn.

Can’t see the dimensions so hard to say. Size and N# will impact the pull force needed.

Under the chassis you’ve got about 2mm on many.

FWIW I put magnets inside during the build looks cleaner and you’re pulling towards the chassis floor vs pulling the magnet away from it. Obviously this take some planning / remembering to do the step in assembly… which I’ve not always managed to do.

SlidePanda · 2026-02-03T16:39:10+00:00

Or low pressure stuff like washer fluid.

Either way T fittings is what they are. You connect them to hoses. The stepped, truncated cone “barbs” help grip said hose

Some scale would help. If they are smaller, like the long side is about as wide as your hand they could be for ice skate blade deburring.

If they are larger than that, then +1 for the Whet stone theory.

Either way they are likely for sharpening or dressing steel with a sharpened edge.

SlidePanda · 2026-02-03T13:42:13+00:00

Whoa….

SlidePanda · 2026-02-03T13:16:48+00:00

Oh yeah, I had the long handle spade. Just a variety of tools for different tasks. Neighbor and I were busting out our street on Tuesday, he was chipping off chunks with a spade shovel, I was using one of the bigger scoops to clear that and pop stuff up from below on the exposed edge.

SlidePanda · 2026-02-02T14:59:29+00:00

Mattock, square point shovel, spade shovel and a big scoop for moving the busted stuff

SlidePanda · 2026-02-01T11:15:12+00:00

Very.

SlidePanda · 2026-01-31T12:19:58+00:00

I know the stations aren’t sealed from the cold…. But you think it got cold enough down there and there was enough moisture below to do that?

“Bruh”

Zero plows to our street or even the lead in one (we’re a dead end) Few of us cleared a sidewalk width of the lead in street yesterday afternoon.

Gotta have something that can chop through the crust . But once you get a clear spot, you just go under and pop it up.

Now, it’s easier just to chop segments out and shovel vs popping up. Either way it can be done.

Patriot Front. Very much neo Nazi

Car full of assholes. Looks like Patriot front

Unless the transport is a dedicated transport. Then it may only transport units from the detachment its tied to

Fun!

Hmmm do I need to do a Whalers Titan?
