[CHAR] Battle of Targus IV (Gunther/Starboard Watch)

[Starboard Watch]

The Brigadier

Weary and decimated,
in true knightly-brotherhood,
the best have remained
but the others have lost their strength

Brigadier Childebrand, son of Clovis

[Gunther]

Aide de camp

First Lieutenant Theuderic, son of Childeric

Theuderic, son of Childeric was born Panchalan, a condition fomenting much pride in his chest. To be Panchalan meant to be a member of an ancient society; one to be both feared and revered. Why the rebels sought to unseat the Panchalan was not a concept Theuderic contemplated. He knew the Centaurans were merely unhappy children seeking more scraps from their father’s table; the spoiled little whelps never satisfied with what they have. What they had, is what Theuderic knew. Everyone was a participant in their worlds. Everything burned in ashes, even the fools who wanted something they didn’t have. They are the destroyers of worlds, not the saviors. General Childebrand and himself were the saviors, but they weren’t enough. They needed help. An end to his fight should be near.

At 5’ 11” tall and 189 Lbs in weight, Ted as his friends occasionally referred to him, he felt proud of his stature and walked with the confidence of a Panchalan officer. He carried his weight well performing whatever duties his commander expected of him.

Theuderic graduated from the academy six years ago. He lead a platoon in the 25th Royal Panchalan Regiment before being selected as Aide de Camp for the Brigadier. Now he knows everything that is going on with the Brigade and knows as much as the commander about the enemy to their front. He provides whatever assistance he can to his commander who is both his superior and his father. The Commander has shared so much with him, he almost feels as though he could lead the Brigade or any of the nine infantry battalions within the Brigade.

Regimental Vehicles

Utility Truck

Utility Truck “Wolf”

This vehicle comes in several configurations including a hard top,
a canvas top or open top with a wide variety of weapons that can
be mounted on various pintle locations. As a Command vehicle
it is most often found with no weapons and a canvas top. Can be
used as a light reconnaissance vehicle.

Engine: 2,497 CC, 68 kW (92 PS: 91 bhp) at 4,600 rpm, 0-100 KPH in 27 seconds with a top speed of 127 KMH or 79 MPH,
Fuel consumption: 12.8 Liters/100km (18.4 mpg)

APC

Tracked Combat Vehicle “Badger”

The crew, a driver and a commander/gunner sit in a compartment at the front of the vehicle, with the engine behind them. A compartment at the rear enables up to 11 infantry to be carried or a cargo of up to 2,000 kg. A load of 6,500 kg can be towed. The vehicle is fully amphibious, being propelled by its tracks in the water.

A small turret at the front of the vehicle fits a 12.7mm machine gun with 360-degree manual traverse and an elevation of −5 to +30 degrees or an open pintle as depicted above. The vehicle is lightly armored against small arms and shell splinters with a thickness of 3 to 10 mm of steel with a maximum of 14 mm for the turret front. The infantry compartment has two hatches over the top, which open forwards. There are four firing ports—one on either side of the hull, the other two in the rear twin doors of the infantry compartment. The vehicle can mount an automatic grenade launcher or an Anti-Tank weapon as a secondary armament.

The driver is provided with a TVN-2 infra-red periscope, which in combination with the OU-3GK infra-red/white light searchlight provides a range of about 40 m. All vehicles include an NBC system.

Armored Car

Armored Car “Fox”

The Fox, or LGS Fox, with LGS being short for Leichter Gepanzerter Spähwagen in Panchalan (Light Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle), is a four-wheeled armed reconnaissance vehicle. The Fox has selectable two or four wheel drive. It has a diesel engine producing 179 kW, giving it a top speed of 115 km/h. Tire pressure can be regulated by the driver from inside the vehicle to suit terrain conditions.

Various weapons can be fitted, such as a 12.7 mm machine gun, a Tornado Spike anti-tank missile or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher. The Air Defense Artillery version also placed Man Portable Air Defense (MANPAD) surface to air missile launchers. The launcher in this case is the Pincer Weapon Platform (PWP), with four Pincer missiles intended for mid-range air defense. The launcher can be controlled from on board the vehicle, or else remotely as part of a distributed air defense system.

The vehicle is protected all-round against 7.62 mm rounds and additional armor can be added if the mission requires. The air conditioning system provides protection against nuclear, biological and chemical warfare and the crew compartment is protected against anti-personnel mines.

Cargo Truck

10 ton Cargo Truck, APTT

The All Purpose Tactical Truck (APTT) is an eight-wheel drive, diesel-powered, 10-short-ton (9,100 kg), tactical truck used by the Panchalan military. The 10×10 Nebulan Logistic Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) is the Panchalan Marines’ equivalent APTT.

A ring mount and pintle system can be mounted above the passenger seat to enable a gunner to operate either a 12.7mm (.50 cal) MG, 7.62mm GPMG or 40mm Automatic Grenade Launcher (AGL).

The APTT's objective is to provide heavy transport capabilities for supply and re-supply of combat vehicles and weapons systems. Compared to earlier generation 5-ton trucks it offers increased payload and mobility. The APTT is available in a variety of configurations, including cargo, tanker, and tractor.

The APTT was developed from the outset as a tactical truck, but to minimize procurement and life cycle costs included militarized commercial automotive components where possible, these including the engine and transmission.

The chassis on the APTT is formed of 257 × 89 × 9.5 mm heat-treated carbon manganese steel with a yield strength of 758 MPa. Bolted construction with Grade 8 bolts is used throughout. A centrally mounted self-recovery winch is an option and this is fitted to around 20% of production. The APTT's two-door forward control cab seats two. It is of heavy-duty welded steel construction with corrosion-resistant sheet metal skins.

A Diesel 8V92TA V-8 two-stroke diesel developing 445 hp (332 kW) is fitted in APTT A0 and A1 models, with the DDECIV version of this engine fitted to A2 APTTs. A Neuport C-15 six-cylinder, 15.2-liter diesel developing a peak of 515 hp (384 kW) is fitted to APTT A4 models. APTT A0 and A1 models are fitted with a Herschal HT 740D 4F/1R automatic transmission, torque converter, and Nebulan 55,000-pound (25,000 kg) two-speed transfer case. APTT A2 models have the Herschal HD 4560P 6F/1R automatic transmission. APTT A4 models are fitted with an Herschal 4500SP 5F/1R automatic transmission and an uprated version of Nebula's 55,000-pound (25,000 kg) two-speed transfer case.

The front axles on all APTTs are single-reduction Herschal 46K, the rear are Dana single-reduction which vary according to configuration. Drive to the front axles is selectable and all axles have differential locks. Suspension on A0/A1/A3 models is by Erikson leaf springs with equalizing beams. Suspension on A4 models is Bannaford air suspension, load rating on the rear axles varying by configuration. Tire size is 1600 R20 on all models, and standard tire fit is Gruber XZL.

All models are capable of fording water crossings up to 48 in (120 cm) deep, and can climb a gradient of at least 60%. All original variants are air transportable in the C-104. All variants are air-transportable in the C-19.

The M977 cargo truck variant is the base member of the APTT family. The current model is the M977A4; there was no M977A1. In addition to the basic M977A0/A2/A4 cargo truck, two other variants are available. The M977A0/A2/A4 Electrical Power Plant (EPP) has an extended cargo body (6.041 m (19.82 ft) inside length) and is used to hold and transport generators for the Avon air-defense missile system. There is no material handling crane on the EPP. The M977A0/A2/A4 Repair Parts Transporter (RPT) and the basic M977 cargo truck are fitted with a light-duty Banshee materials handling crane mounted at the rear of the chassis.

The M978 is a 9,500 liter capacity fuel tanker. The current model is the M978A4; there was no M978A1. The M978A0 was produced in both potable water (approximately 18) and fuel servicing truck variants, the A2 and A4 models have only been produced in the fuel servicing truck variant.

The M983 is a tractor unit for use with the trailer-mounted MIM-94 Avon missile system. It can also be used with the Interim Lancer Recovery System, or other trailers. An earlier variant fitted with a 30 kW generator and crane mounted behind the cab was used to tow the Grant II Erector Launcher. The M983A2/A4 Light Equipment Transporter (LET) tractor is mainly used to transport construction and engineer equipment. It has a 45,000 lb (20,000 kg)) 2 speed hydraulic winch mounted behind the cab used to load the trailer. It does not have a self-recovery winch.

The M1977 APTT Common Bridge Transporter (CBT) is a further development of the M1120 LHS, and in common with the M1120 LHS was initially introduced as part of the APTT overhaul/rebuild program. It is used for loading, transporting, and unloading Ribbon Bridge components and bridge erection boats.

The M1142 is a Tactical Fire Fighting Truck (TFFT) capable of extinguishing aircraft, petroleum, brush, and structural fires at isolated military installations. The TFFT is based on a APTT M977A2 chassis with the heavier duty M1120 LHS APTT variant rear suspension. The TFFT contract was awarded to Shogun Manufacturing with Nebula Corporation as a subcontractor to Shogun.

The APTT-based M1065 Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile launcher is technically a variant of the APTT LHS.

Track Recovery Vehicle "ARV"

Nilpferd 2 is one of the most advanced multi-functional armored support vehicle, which can be used as an armored recovery vehicle (ARV) or an armored engineer vehicle (AEV). Developed by Voigt Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft (VFG), the vehicle is based on the combat-proven Löwen 2 main battle tank (MBT).

The multi-functional vehicle can be deployed in missions such as recovery and towing of damaged vehicles and equipment, military engineering and mine clearance operations under challenging battlefield scenarios with modern asymmetric threats.

Nilpferd 2 design and features
The Nilpferd 2 is based on the tracked chassis of the Löwen 2 MBT. The combat-tested chassis makes the Nilpferd 2 extremely maneuverable, powerful and reliable in the battlefield.
The chassis is fitted with a modern, hydraulically-operated recovery and engineering equipment.
The Nilpferd 2 ARV has a length of 9.26m, width of 3.54m and a height of 2.78m, whereas the AEV variant measures 10.50m-long, 3.54m-wide and 3.10m-high.

Nilpferd 2 configurations and tools
The Nilpferd 2 can be converted from ARV to AEV configuration in less than five hours. Both the configurations can be integrated with a mine-breaching kit including a full width mine plough, a high lift adapter, a safe lane marking system and a magnetic signature duplicator.

The ARV version is fitted with a powerful crane boom and winch for loads up to 32t. The main winch offers a maximum invariable pull force of 400kN, whereas an auxiliary winch offers a maximum pull force of 30kN for minor recovery missions. The onboard combat recovery system (CRS) enables rapid recovery and towing of vehicles or equipment.

The AEV configuration is equipped with an excavator arm with a capacity to move up to 300m³ of earth an hour, and a special high-performance dozer blade with a rate of up to 400m³ of earth an hour.

The excavator arm of Nilpferd 2 can be optionally hinged with devices including miniature flail, milling head, concrete crusher and earth auger, to complement specific mission requirements. The advanced hydraulic and electronic architecture automatically detects the hinged equipment.
Self-protection against military weapons

“The multi-functional vehicle can be deployed in missions such as recovery and towing of damaged vehicles and equipment, military engineering and mine clearance operations under challenging battlefield scenarios with modern asymmetric threats.”

The Nilpferd 2 can be provided with standardized attachment points to hinge bar / slat armor, explosive reactive armor and enhanced protection systems to offer additional protection against rocket propelled grenades (RPGs).

The bottom of the hull is attached with an additional armor plate to withstand the blasts of enhanced mines and improved explosive devices (IEDs).

Engine and mobility of the armored support vehicle
The Nilpferd 2 is powered by a MTU, MB 873 Ka 501 diesel engine with a reinforced transmission through an electro-hydraulic gear shift (four forward and two backward gears). The engine develops a maximum power output of 1100kW.

The reinforced running gear components offer high maneuverability in different terrain conditions. The power-pack provides a maximum forward speed of 68km/h and a rearward speed of 31km/h. The recovering speed of the vehicle is 40km/h. The Nilpferd 2 attains a speed of 15km/h when towing device in terrain.
