Description
Designed concurrently with the Patton, Defiance Industries decided that a vehicle to replace 'Mechs was needed in the early 3000's. Since 'Mech production was nearly at a standstill, the ability to produce and field armored vehicles became a necessity no Successor State could ignore. The strength of a Rommel is shown in its great urban warfare abilities. A Rommel may lie in wait down an alley or other concealment, then use it's devastating armament to cripple or destroy a 'Mech. The main advantage the Rommel has over other, older, designs is a combination of high speed and more armor. With even more armor than a Demolisher tank, the Rommel can take more punishment, yet slip away faster to fight again from another position.
Armament
The Rommel uses a single Defiance 'Mech Hunter Autocannon/20 as it's main armament. Able to cripple light and medium 'Mechs with a single placed shots from the main gun, the Rommel can also keep an enemy at bay with a Coventry LRM-5 System while retreating to another position. If attacked by infantry or as a last resort, the tank commander can aim a single ASL Small Laser.
Variants
Patton - The Patton tank is built on the same chassis, but carries an Autocannon/10, LRM-5, Small Laser, and a Flamer for anti-infantry work.
