WW1 trucks, probably 1 "stall" card (any deck, they're all the same) for every 3 aircraft cards.
VERY slow in comparison to planes (even 'slow' planes!)
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Using a slower X deck would be a good place to start.
so having had a look at the Mates decks, for a lorry it looks like an "XB" deck ties in with Dave's width of a ruler movement. Would you still use Tim's "a stall in a 3 card move" or not?? Now, Tanks I think would be even slower, suggests an "XA" deck with or without Tim's stall rule?? Suggestion / ideas welcome. All I've gotta do then is print of the cards
As far as I can make out the average speed of a truck was 15 mph (24 km/h) in WW1. Tanks maybe half that at best. That'll be road speeds so you can probably halve that again, at least, for cross country speeds.
Using a truck card like an aeroplane card on a stall manoeuvre card will give it a stalling aeroplane speed - so, 40-50mph (?)
Stall speed for a Sopwith Camel is 48mph; Albatros D.V just under 50mph.
Once per turn may be OK for trucks on road but still be too quick if cross country, or, for tanks. Using the ruler width/arrow length may work better & reducing use per turn will hopefully provide the crawling speeds required.

so we're looking at 2 movement cards per turn for trucks and tanks - they really will crawl across the board. thanks Dave
The maximum speed of a British Mark IV tank was around 4 mph, and that's on a road, cross country you are looking at only 2-3 mph, or walking speed..
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
So it looks like one maneouvre card per turn would represent it better?
Depends on how many times you want to move every single model; three tiny amounts each, every turn, or just one small amount.

One manoeuvre per turn is probably right for tanks.

Check out one of our latest missions which involved trucks. worked well.
