	The mounting of a TOW on HMMWV was meant to improve TOW team mobility and to give the US Army a counter to the USSR's use of ultra light ATGM vehicles. It more or less copied and improved the concept of the [[Spandrel]], and the weapon performed to expectation on the occasions that it actually saw combat. Of course that combat was against the USSR's successor states and certain middle eastern nations so how it would have performed in a hot nonnuclear WW3 is up for debate.

Of course that combat was against the USSR's successor states and certain middle eastern nations so how it would have performed in a hot nonnuclear WW3 is up for debate. But as the ongoing Russo-Ukranian war has been demonstrating, the general idea of widely deployed, portable anti-armor missiles is a sound concept in practice, at least for defense.

			The New American book for TYV2 gives the almost mandatory option (the TOW tax) to upgrade your entire force to carry AT23 TOW2s. Enjoy slinging missiles through the front of Challengers in your Humvees!

	The HMMWV-TOW is a pretty decent AT unit. The Improved TOW missile dishes out AT 21, FP 3+ hits from up to and including 48” way. The TOW is quite capable of dealing with MBTs and is simply overkill when dealing with transports.		The HMMWV-TOW is a pretty decent AT unit.

	The down side is that you have an all round armor value of 0, ~~that’s right~~ 0. Now, this isn't as bad as it seems~~.

The down side is that you have an all round armor value of 0. That’s right, 0. Now, this isn't as bad as it seems because even though it has no armor, the HMMWV still technically has an armor save. Therefore the ''Brutal'' special rule does not kick in and you might actually survive any hit with a AT value less than 6. That being said, DO NOT GET SHOT.

	Since the Humvee is a wheeled platform rather than tracked, it has a surprisingly fast Road Dash Speed. If you need to suddenly deal with a threat that is an entire board away, you can just hop on the ~~free way~~ and be in their face before your opponent can blink (and by in their face, I mean in a bush with clear line of sight 40" away). In addition, since a lot of people limit themselves to tactical speed to ensure that they can use their guns, the Humvee can surprise them by tearing around the board by dashing every time it has to move~~, as~~ you can't fire the TOW on the move, so why would you ever not dash?
