Pinzgauer is an United Kingdom transport truck that appears in Wargame: AirLand Battle.

History[]

Pinzgauer is a family of high-mobility all-terrain 4WD (4×4) and 6WD (6×6) military utility vehicles. First produced by Steyr-Daimler-Puch of Graz, Austria in the late 1960s. The truck was named after the Pinzgauer, an Austrian breed of horse. British Army uses the Pinzgauer in variety of utility roles, from carrying stores to acting as command and communications vehicles to a gun tractor for the 105mm Light Gun. 

Overview[]

Airland Battle[]

Red Dragon[]

In Red Dragons, the Pinzgauer is an United Kingdoms 5 point APC (in-game category, but commonly refered to as a truck) that is available to infantry units in the Logistics and Recon tab.


Trucks have excellent fuel economy and are wheeled, giving them the best on-road speed possible, and typically have passable offroad speed as well. With their price being so low, they lend themselves to the cost-efficiency of the units they carry, keeping the price-point for even high-tier recon units at a more acceptable level. Their low price also makes them good for prodding enemy defenses. However, despite their benefits, trucks also come with a number of issues: most notably, they are limited to infantry CVs and recon units, limiting their usefulness quite significantly. Additionally, any anti-tank weapons can instakill a truck and whatever infantry they're carrying (even low-tier anti-tank weapons such as the M72 LAW can kill a truck with a 15-man team in them, and bombs and artillery can also easily destroy them). Almost all of them are unarmed, as well, making them useless during actual fighting.
