Hare Tank Hunter

## Tactical Analysis

* **The tank hunts tonight:** A tank destroy taken from stolen British blueprints, the Hare fires armor-penetrating guided missiles that deal hefty damage against armored targets. Friendly infantry near the tank can also reload faster thanks to spare ammunition boxes in the Hare's hull.

* **Maximum overdrive:** When flanks go wrong, the Hare can activate the supercharger inside the tank engine to greatly increase its speed for a short time. They are noted that it would make turning left or right harder, so they should exercise caution when using it.

* **Hare season:** The limited range that the Hare's rockets possess mean that the tank itself is more suited to ambushes instead of direct combat. Also, infantry can easily avoid the rockets while aircraft are out of their range.

## Background

**Log of ACIN agent Kim Philby (codename: Stanley)'s interview, date unknown:**

**Interrogator:** Good morning, Agent Stanley.

**Philby:** Good morning, also...sir.

**Interrogator:** Listen up, thanks to current events, the guys at the top has asked me to ask you a few questions.

**Philby:** Okay...

**Interrogator:** Make sure you answer them honestly, Agent, as some of the higher-ups in the blue team are becoming suspicious about you.

**Philby:** Really I've been a bloody good trove of KGB secrets throughout the years. Do you even remember how I got us some files on their Tesla technology?

**Interrogator:** May I remind you that this interrogation isn't about your accomplishments in the service? Anyway, let me start by asking: have you been listening at current events lately?

**Philby:** Sorry sir, fieldwork's been so stressful that I haven't been reading the news lately.

**Interrogator:** You know what's the most intriguing part about it? Their new tanks heavily resemble our Covenant Tanks, meaning that one of our own designs was compromised.

**Philby:** Wha-

**Interrogator:** And thanks to that, a lot of your fellow agents seems to be wary of your actions. For example, I've heard from your colleagues that you have been hanging out too much with Agents Homer, Hicks, and Johnson. I've also heard that you talk with Liszt quite often. You've heard about the rumors spreading around about them, didn't you?

**Philby:** Listen, I've been burned out from all that time in Beirut, that's why I haven't been participating in spreading hearsay.

**Interrogator:** Fair enough. So, word on the office says that they've been associating themselves with reds, and their actions don't fall under mole duty. Passing secrets out to the KGB. And you know what that entails, right?

**Philby:** I might be biased here, confidantes and all, but I don't think you should subscribe to rumors instantly. Remember the Rosenberg couple? Only one of them was the actual commie, right?

**Interrogator:** I know, McCarthy went after the wrong targets, but ACIN's not letting you and them off the hook easily this time; Agent Stephan recalls Cairncross carrying vehicle blueprints off to Saudi to 'assist Coalition vehicular regiments'. It's been pretty obvious where they ended up, right?

**Philby:** Well, the alternative was that Liszt *was* indeed going to assist the Coalition, but the KGB *somehow* got wind of the entire operation and stole those under his nose. We don't even have evidence for the prevailing theory, right?

**Interrogator:** Stop toying with me, Stanley.

**Philby:** That wasn't reverse psy-

**Interrogator:** I almost forgot, thank you for reminding me. Our folks at Scranton said that cheeky Americans have been trying to get their hands on the tanks. Blue team's been asking how the hell did we even let this fiasco slip. What can you say about yourself, Stanley?

**Philby:** \*no response\*

**Interrogator:** Why did you suddenly shut off? Hiding something, I presume

**Philby:** Hmmmm... I was hiding something on that four seconds of silence.

**Interrogator:** Better spill the beans, Stanley... Lawrence's gonna call for another embargo if we don't get this thing settled by next month!

**Philby:** I did hand them to Liszt, but I *really* don't know how KGB even got them! For all it's worth, they could've beat me up so badly I'd forgotten they even did it! Ever heard of amnesiacs?

**Interrogator:** This isn't going anywhere. Look, by the way you've been talking to your superior, that *has* gotta be a red flag you're raising there. Literally *and* figuratively.

**Philby:** Anyone would have stole the damned blueprints, I tell you. The Continentals? Iranians? I could come up with a list of the usual suspects, but I'm honest when I say me and my colleagues aren't part of them!

**Interrogator:** Whoever stole it matters nil in this incident, Stanley. The Arabian commies now are a little bit stronger because of your slip-up, and by Jove if *that* doesn't get you a demerit...
