“You didn’t...?” Yule began, but Haile had already left to her command vehicle, and he rubbed his temples with a sigh. “Alright,” he glanced around to the lot of you, and lingered without confidence on the women in blue, “I’ll leave you to appoint your acting captains. I’ll be talking to all of you anyways, assisting Lady Haile Margareta Rendsdottir-Hageldorf in her command capacity. I know some of you are unfamiliar with the enemy we’ll be fighting today. Others of you much more so. We don’t have much time for a complete materiel review- I’ll trust you to get that from each other.”
Those of you who had been involved in fighting Twaryians before knew what he referred to- the standard Twaryian vehicles, both imported in huge quantities from overseas and hammered together on the continent. The light and small T-8 tank, little more than a pair of metal boxes stacked atop one another, but numerous and inexpensive to operate and crew, so much so that they were sold en masse on the black market and ended up in Sosaldt as a ubiquitous piece of brigand kit- armed either with machine guns or a 4 centimeter bore cannon of similar power to your own 3.7cm guns. Then, there was the T-16, a medium type tank that resisted 3.7cm cannon fire from the front, whose primary armament was a 4.5-centimeter cannon capable of penetrating the armor of the m/24. However, the improved armor of many of your tanks could resist that, while your 5 centimeter guns could make short work of them. That left the T-15; the least common enemy, but the most fearsome any of you that had fought had encountered, for it was largest and best armed and armored of all. Even the m/24-32s would have difficulty with those enemies in a head-on brawl, as their armor had been increased and could defeat 5cm guns from the front, whilst their 7.5cm cannons were intimidating- though imprecise.
The Twaryian tanks were not the only fearsome opponents, however. Another was a low-slung truck called the BM-5, referred to as a Combat Car- unarmored, but fast and armed with a rapid firing cannon and a machine gun, that accompanied Twaryian mobile troops called Moskity- by far the fiercest fighters amongst them.
