Sooooo...

Here's the 1e stats. These are based on the technical information I can glean from 'round the web. Enjoy!

M-70: A tracked Main Battle Tank with a very large turret. The driver is located in a cupola in the turret. The driver, gunner and commander have their own separate hatches. Like the Abrams tank, this tank features a safe ammunition storage system in the turret, coupled with an auto-loader, reducing the crew from a traditional 4 to 3. The command variant mounts a 20mm autocannon above and behind the commander.

Price: $900,000 (R/R)
RF: +35
Armament: 152mm gun/launcher, MAG MG, M2HB MG (C) or 20mm auto-cannon (C) in remote turret.

Notes:

All "L" hits = Autoloader. All "W" hits 50/50 chance autocannon turret struck (roll 1d10). All "X" hits 50/50 chance Cal.50 struck.

Driving the M-70 is almost completely different from any tracked vehicle before it. Unless a player with the TVD skill notes that they are/were USMC, they must apply a -10% penalty to TVD until such time as they receive sufficient experience points to indicate they have learned the peculiarities and overcome the disorientation new M70 drivers experience from driving within a gimbals-mounted driving compartment.

Although the main gun for the M-70 is 152mm, it cannot accept 152mm artillery rounds! The M-70's M150E5 cannon fires the following ammunition types (in addition to its ATGM): HEAT, HE, WP, APFSDS. Game notes are listed by Type/Range/Damage/ARM/KDR/Burst.

152mm M150E5
HEAT/350/x25C/-/5/-
HE/350/x30C/x15/20/-
WP/300/x20C/x10/-
APFSDS/400/x30C/-/-/-

MGM-151C ATGM (with thanks to Paul Mulcahy's excellent website)

ROF:1
MAG:1
RANGE: 6000
DAM:20C
ARM: -
KDR: 3
BURST: 10

The "C" variant included a natural "plastic" impregnated cardboard casing which, while water-resistant, was still almost entirely combustible. The improved warhead is still somewhat anemic versus newer Main Battle Tanks but more than enough to deal with older tanks without RBA or composite armor, or lighter armored vehicles.

Finally: ammunition costs and availability:

152mm HE: $750, S/R
152mm HEAT: $850, S/R
152mm WP: $700, S/R
152mm APFSDS: $900, S/R

MGM-151C Shillelagh: $850, S/- (unavailable to WarPac units or in WarPac controlled areas except at GM discretion)

I hope you guys enjoyed this; I'm more than willing to listen to suggestions regarding armor, etc., as much of it was created using Kentucky Windage, as it were!

Also, I give permission for this to be included in an issue of GLYOYO, and can provide some pics as necessary.
