Modern armies run on oil. Gasoline and diesel for the tanks and trucks. Bunker oil and JP-4 for the ships and planes.
Much of that oil is carried around in tanker trucks, at least as fuel.
I got these Boley trucks at Arnies Trains. They are typical of trucks used to carry gasoline all around the US.
My fleet of Roco Minitanks can be assured of a steady stream of POL with these tankers on the job!
Petroleum depots, and oil refineries are great places to have wargames, they are critical nodes in a nations infrastructure. In WWII bombing the German oil fields was a critical part of our strategy to win the war. Trucks like these are important today to distribute the oil to gasoline stations. Part of my oil infrastructure and civilian economy.
