Or: variations on the M113A3 APC. The proposed M8 'Buford' AGS (armored gun system) had a 105mm autoloading gun, woot. And there's been discussion of a hybrid electric drive version, which would make a Morrow Project conversion as simple as plugging in your fusion pack.



(note that the author of the "redacted" pages can get mighty worked up about his favorite topics, one of which is the M113)

Imagine a hybrid-drive version of the M8. The Project could just snap them up and roll them right into a bolthole.

The M8 is a light tank intended to give light forces (Airborne , Airmobile) an antiarmor punch that is protected under armor. Its a direct fire weapon and doesn't have the elevation to act as artillery.

However, you know it is a Cadillac Gage Stingray light tank. Who makes V-150s? Cadillac Gage. So if you want them in your game, I don't see why not.

I am not giving a Team other than MARS a Tank. Not sure about that either.

However, there is a tradition in the Project Files of giving the Team a vehicle that can't really be used or a weapon system that is not suited to the mission.
