THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE HAMMER’S SLAMMERS THE CRUCIBLE RULES SYSTEM HANDBOOK

New Ukrainian Army in 15mm

CMG on Coccium produced several vehicles on just a couple of common chassis which appealed to Orlyk for two reasons - cost (via commonality of parts) and familiarity: his crews were well versed in working on and maintaining tracked vehicles. All of the newest CMG vehicles use small fusion power plants (though not as compact as the Westal AE7s, as fitted to Slammer’s Blowers). These generators provide constant electrical power which - in addition to the drive sprocket - is used to drive all the AFVs road wheels, each of which has individual electromagnetic suspension that floats the fighting compartment independently of the transmission for a very smooth, effective system. Because each wheel is driven independently, the rear toothed drive wheel is only in place for extra traction: if the vehicle sheds an entire track, all the wheels can still power the vehicle forward, though with rather less grip and greater ground pressure. Armour Armour on the vehicles is both passive and active. The active system includes the advanced Drodz 6 with launchers mounted vehicle turrets plus reactive armour laid in sheets over the passive armour, itself  a composite comprised (amongst other things) of a sapphire and ceramic matrix faced with hardened steel. The vehicles are fitted with an advanced AI system aiding both attack and defensive workloads on the crew (which on the Molot and Xaoc is only three: commander/gunner, driver and defensive specialist). Armour was specified in an attempt to match the armour resistance of the cast iridium hulls of Icarus industries Blower tanks. This has resulted, however, in very large, slab sided vehicles with an armour thickness of almost two metres on the turret front and glacis of the Molot.
