Veteran Assault Tripod

The humans aren’t the only side that adapts and

advances as the war goes on, the Martians do too,
perhaps faster. Objects of dread on any battlefield,
Veteran Assault Tripods are outfitted with extra
appliqué armor on their legs, carapace and cockpit.
While this extra weight makes them a bit slower
than a regular tripod,the added armor repels all
small arms including machine guns and is difficult
to breach with smaller calibers of cannon. They are
more powerful on the attack as well with an
extended lens Heavy Heat Ray that is more effective
in a sweep attack and has an extended range when
taking a single concentrated shot. They were first
reported on the battlefield by British forces in North
Africa, but can now be found all over the world.

Unit: 1 element (armed with Heavy Heat Ray)

Points per unit: 250. A Veteran Assault Tripod can swap

the Heat Ray for a Black Dust Launcher or Green gas

given a Black Dust Launcher or Green Gas grenades in
