Zhukov Heavy Tank (Marik and Liao)

Pictured above is a 75-ton Zhukov Heavy Tank, a vehicle produced by houses Marik and Liao. The Zhukov has attack 2, armor 2, structure 7, and because it is armed with autocannons, the ability to effectively double its firepower by using Alpha Strike for +2 to its attack.

One of Crusade's more appealing features is its resurrection of vehicle cards (which did not appear at all in the Commander's Edition expansion). Because 'Mechs rule the battlefield, a maximum of 10 vehicles can be added to a deck, but some players may wish to do this. Vehicles are relatively slow and delicate when compared to 'Mechs (anytime a vehicle takes damage, on a roll of 5 or 6 on one die it is scrapped,). Nonetheless, vehicles also tend to be relatively cheap to put into play when compared to 'Mechs, and some have features that can make them pretty formidable in combat, and possibly even knock out a few expensive 'Mechs before becoming scrapped themselves.
