Arcadian Speed Tank

The Arcadian Speed Tank is a super light tank.

Description and Abilities
The light tank is placed over a frame, with two Motorcycle engines working in tandem to power the vehicle to reach great speeds. The machine is essentially three seat, with a giant Cartridge Cannon pointing forward, as well as a movable shield/turret for a crossbow man to fend off opponents. The shield/turret can also be used as a 'chair' for the commander, to direct his platoon. The undercarriage is designed for bumpy rides as well as the possibility of road mines.

The tank is designed to fire directly forward, but it is more than maneuverable to change direction in an instant, so this is not a great weakness. A skilled commander can use the fixed turret to his advantage, as the high accuracy nearly guarantees that they will hit whatever is straight ahead. The massive recoil is a problem that few truly get used to, but the best commanders can use the recoil to dodge counter attack.

Strategy
A wise commander when, in retreat send his tanks to the back and set them in reverse. The tanks fire backwards and the recoil boosts them past their normal reverse speeds, allowing them to keep up with their forces. Their fire covers their rear and has a good chance of destroying enemy armor.

Notable Commanders
