About the game
M3: "The M3 was commissioned as a light tank with good scouting and fire support capabilities. With its shield, the M3 can "block" for troops during forward assaults while its considerable firepower allows it to outgun most infantry squads." Landkrieger: "Its innovative piston-driven suspension allows it to reach high speeds on rough terrain while also permitting it to navigate vertical grades that a tracked vehicle could not. Its dual hydraulic "fists" allow the Lankrieger to thrive in close combat and use nearby objects and weapons as thrown projectiles."
