Welcome to the HeavyMetalPro Forums

Keep in mind that this kind of vehicle requries the user to remember that it's a light vehicle and the infantry dismounts to the rear of the vehicle, thus tactical use of said vehicle will need to be modified as needed.

==Overview:==
The call for an armed and armored infantry carrier came during the Third
Succession War, the idea of building a low cost but effective armored infantry
carrier was something many commanders wanted and needed. The Oraka Industrial
Combine jumped at the chance to get their foot into the door of the military
vehicle market.

Taking their standard civilian heavy truck chassis they started with an
armored passenger compartment in the rear with a rear hatch/ramp. With the cab
of the vehicle uparmored and behind the drivers compartment is a pintle
mounted 13mm heavy machine gun with gun shield, this allows the vehicle
commander to provide covering fire for dismounting troops.

The vehicle is named afer light skirmisher infantry used by the Romans.
