Ever since ADQ ran an article on a small min-bus franchise, I've wondered what it would be like if players could operate such a business.

I've thrashed out some rules and I'm just now putting them through their paces....

Here's a sample year's action for a small company-- 3 standard buses and 1 "Q" variant. Looks like not such a good year for them: they've earned barely enough to pay for the bus they lost!

Month 1.......$3,500
Month 2......$14,000
Month 3......($7,000)
Month 4............0 Standard Vehicle lost in combat.
Month 5......$10,000
Month 6......($2,500)
Month 7......$10,000 Q-Vehicle repels attack.
Month 8......$12,500
Month 9.......$5,000
Month 10......$7,500
Month 11.....($2,500)
Month 12......$2,500


Yearly Total:

Profits............$53,000
Vehicle Losses...........1
Q Vehicle Losses.........0
