## Tactical Analysis

* **Speed Limits:** Carrying M20 "Super" Bazookas, Unionist Tank Hunters act as a deterrent against enemy vehicles and armor. Though dated, these weapons can still force an enemy column to a halt in seconds. When garrisoned, special guidance systems can be set up that allow for advanced tracking of aerial targets.

* **Join Our Clubhouse:** Because of how valuable these guidance systems are, tank hunters carry the equipment necessary to set up small two-man bunkers in the field. Which is either mounted an automated M2 browning, reinforced with more armour, or equipped with camo netting and detection equipment depending on specialization.

* **Watch those Lambor-Feetis:** Like all anti-vehicle specialists, the Tank Hunter struggles against infantry and faster moving systems.

* **No Kill Like Overkill:** The most experienced Tank Hunter teams have taken to carrying heavily modified M20 Recoilless Rifles, able to carry and fire the system on their own. The increased projectile speed means aircraft aren't safe even when the Tank Hunter isn't in garrison.

## Background

**MOSKVIN'S MARAUDERS: NEW YORK REMEMBERS ITS DARKEST DAY**

*Today New York City dedicated a memorial to the brave men and women who fought the attack by the rogue Soviet general, Nikolai Moskvin, in the closing days of World War III. Mayor John Lindsay stated at the dedication,* "The spirit of this city is the spirit of the United States, an unbreakable will that can weather the mightiest storms." *On-hand were Cmdr. Warren Fuller, commander of the Allied forces that stopped Moskvin's forces from causing greater harm; Police Commissioner Howard Leary; Manhattan Unionist leader Michael Manicone.*

*The ceremony paid tribute to the memories of those New York citizens and Allied personnel who lost their lives in the battle against the rogue communist forces that struck Manhattan just before the end of hostilities between the Soviet Union and Allied Nations. Acting on his own, Gen. Moskvin led almost an entire Soviet division with naval support to strike New York City. In a day's combat, Allied forces in conjunction with the National Guard and NYPD managed to quarantine and destroy the invading force. While Gen. Moskvin was killed in action, the lives of all New Yorkers have remained impacted by that day. Not only was New York's infrastructure devastated by the attack, the financial heart of the United States was annihilated by several Apocalypse tanks and V4 bombardment.*

"We can never forget the lives lost on that terrible day," *said Cmdr. Fuller.* "Yet we must look forward to a future where the people of the United States can live in peace, secure in their faith in democracy and protected by their fighting forces."

*Speaking for the Unionists, Mr. Manicone's remarks broke ranks with the words of Cmdr. Fuller.* "The fact is that the American people need more than token support from the Allied Nations, to ensure that these tragedies cannot be repeated. The threat of communism must be destroyed, wherever it rears up. Guns and training aren't enough when Soviet tanks roll down the streets of America. Only heavy weapons in the hands of red-blooded American patriots will be the safeguard of liberty."

*Response to the event has already split opinions, domestically and around the world. While many in Europe and Canada have applauded Fuller for his calm and forward-looking tone, the United States is divided between those who claim that Manicone's words are inflammatory and those who state he is speaking what the nation needs to hear.*
