General Information

Apoc griffon icon.png

Official Entry: "The meanest Marsec manufactured land based vehicle is an extremely heavily armored all-terrain vehicle with a choice of three different turret mountings. Projectile and Plasma Cannons can be fitted, or a missile launching unit for targeting airborne vehicles."

Cityscape Information

Unfortunately, despite its rugged looks, the Griffon is not an all-terrain-vehicle, and in fact a grav-road dependant vehicle with fake tracks that serve only to make it look big. This means the tank is restricted to the roads, thus eliminating the usefulness of its main cannon. This sadly leaves the tank looking grand only in looks. Tanks can, however, be very effective if they are strategically placed around the city to provide heavy ground support for air skirmishes - preferably after the air skirmishes have begun. This draws fire away from the tank, which can be destroyed in a single blow if the road underneath it is destroyed.
