DOPPELSOLDNER
Points: 250
The Doppelsoldner, named after a medieval warrior who
carried a two-handed greatsword, was the Paneuropeans'
last
and biggest cybertank. About the same length as the
Ogre Mark VI, it was even more massive. Doppelsoldners
were also
more plentiful than the Mark VI, but never truly
common. The Doppelsoldner represented a fusion of the
Fencer design
with the Ogre concepts; in particular, the Fencer's
lack of any "main" batteries was seen as a weakness
and remedied
in the new unit, while the Fencer's four missile racks
were increased to six. The seemingly- baroque design
was
intended to bounce shells away and to minimize the
chance of collateral damage when one weapon was taken
out. Overall,
the "Dopp" can dish out damage faster than the Mark
VI, but the Mark VI can take considerably more
punishment.
A Dopplesoldner carries 2 main batteries, 8 secondary
batteries, 12 AP batteries, 6 missile racks with 18
internal missiles, and starts the game with 60 tread
units. (Its sheer mass puts such a great demand on its
treads that they're effectively less durable than those
of the Mark VI.)
