Re: Ajax Armoured Vehicle Variants (Army)

I few want an effective and properly equipped Army we are going to have to accept a much smaller fighting force. The Light Role Infantry are the prime target here, but with their loss we would have to also accept that the Army will lose persistence to maintain any deployment turning it into a get i...
