As the second Khanate War continued and worlds fell to the Legions as
they spread ever further from the Matter Gateway in the Camarthen
stellar system the threat to the entire Prydian Precinct grew dire. The
Marcher Barons were in retreat and the Prydian Army in ascendency after
twenty years of civil war but this did not mean that the military might
of the Throne was enough. Split between dealing with the growing alien
invasion and the struggle for dominance in the core systems this
resulted in neither war being tackled fully. In 4340 IC the death of
the Kingmaker Nevall in battle against Princess Cyon meant the Precinct
was once more at peace with only small scale conflicts left to stamp
out. The loss of most of Knight General Obermann's fleet in 4331 IC on
and around Camarthen Prime had meant near a decade of hit and run
campaigns against the Dragon Ships as they sail in darkness out across
the stellar cluster. While Humanity was able to deal with a single
Dragon Ship entering a planetary orbit this was not the case as pairs
and then trios and more of these mighty warships, each carrying an
entire Legion, began to appear together. It would take several years to
gather enough might to tackle the Matter Gateway head on so for the
moment single regiments were dispatched to hold and harry as best they
could.
The clamour for Taranis and Magogs was constantly coming back to New
Glastonbury and in such numbers that the demand could not be met. It
takes a lot of time and resources to build the mightiest war machines so
a solution was looked for to supply the Camarthen Cluster with armoured
vehicles for the use of Muster and Planetary Militia in huge numbers.
Part of this was the Mullo Type 36 AFV as well as the existing Adder
light vehicles but a new modular assembly was founded in 4336 IC with
the creation of the Adder Combat Tankettes. A stop gap measure to combat
Khanate Orbs and tanks. These tracked vehicles have a weight of just
over seven and a half tons and roughly eighteen feet in length that
Adder is not a combat heavy weight like the Taranis. A colour coding
system is in use to make Adders easy to assign to Regiments and to allow
Planetary Militia who are not be as used to war as a Retained Knight a
simple recognition method. The Red Adder Tankette is the standard model
mounting a turret with a Moth 88 Rotary Cannon. The Yellow Adder is
the fire support variant and has two crew along with a turret with an
Anda 60mm Missile Pod. The Black Adder acts as an armoured punch giving
the Muster the ability to knock out battlesuits and other smaller tough
targets with two crew and a turret mounted Fretan Rail Gun. Less
common is the Orange Adder which is infantry support mounting a
specialised turret with a Moth 30 automatic 50mm Grenade Launcher.
Dedicated Adders include the Green Adder which is a command and control
car at the battalion level and the White Adder for medical teams and
battlefield triage. The 'Battle Taxi' type Grey Adder is heavily
modified and can carry two fire-teams or a squad at a real squeeze.
There are also some very specialised Adders too for purposes such as
Blue Adder, the Brown Adder and the Purple Adder.
Academy Auto-Trainer Series 52, New Glastonbury, 4342 IC.
The Adder Combat Tankette is the third propulsion type of Adder which we
have created. You can see all of the Wheeled and Lifter (Hover) Adders
on the website HERE.
During this event we will have a free download article with game
statistics for their more heavily armoured Adders in your games of
Patrol Angis so look for this towards the end of September (the story
above is taken from this article). The Adder is a work horse and fits
in well with any 15mm near future or further ahead science fiction army.
We will also have top down scale comparison photos with other vehicles
in our 15mm range later in the month. We thank you for your custom and
here are the details of the new vehicles and offers. Go HERE.
