Notes[edit]

  • As of this writing, there is no published Battle Value nor record sheet for this vehicle.
  • It is unclear what the Škoda/Growler looks like. In the associated image for the "Growler/Burro Trucks" (in Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised), two identical trucks (from different angles) are depicted, though unidentified as any of the three profiled support vehicles. However, since Škoda/Growler and another vehicle both weigh in at 1 ton and a large vehicle is 2.5 tons, the Burro II (massing 50 tons) is the most likely one depicted.
  • The Škoda/Growler was originally published simply known as the Growler. The Revised edition of the TRO:VA changed its name to Škoda "Growler" Service Utility Truck. It's not specified if the Škoda is the vehicle actual name or a company brand, since there no text relating to the vehicle directly in name.
