OGRE Fencer
Updated May 31, 2005
FENCER
Points: 125
The first original cybertank design produced by the
Paneuropean Federation, the Fencer also had the first
operational
missile racks. The Fencer had nothing comparable to an
Ogre main gun. It carried two "secondary" batteries
and 8
anti-personnel batteries. Its main armament consisted
of its four missile racks. It carried 20 missiles in
its internal
storage bay. The Fencer starts the game with 48 tread
units.
The Fencer design had been in progress for a year when
England fell. Some Paneuropean leaders, notably the
French,
wanted to press ahead with their home-grown design,
while others wanted to adopt and improve on the Ogre
technology
that had fallen into their laps. Typically, the
Paneuropeans compromised by doing both. The Fencer
reached the
battlefield in 2084 and was a success, but Mark III
and V units produced in Sheffield, Stuttgart and
elsewhere were
always more plentiful in the Paneuropean forces. Later
Paneuropean cybertanks, though, were developments of
the Fencer.
Like the Mark III and later Ogres, Fencers were
articulated. However, they lacked the Ogre tower.
Instead, they had
a large, flat turret housing the two conventional
cannons. The missile racks were located to the rear.
