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. |
