Fun for the whole family:

Dirtside II Vehicle: Monitor Anti-Personnel AFV

By: Alexander Williams
Type: Anti-Personnel
Desc: The Monitor is a low-slung, heavy vehicle dedicated to the support
of Armoured Infantry. Its weapons compliment is fairly effective against
both light armoured vehicles and infantry, armoured and unarmoured.

Equipment Item				   VSP : BVP	 Spaces   Cost

Vehicle, class 4			    20 :  0	     20     20
Armor class 2, Reactive 		    20 : 30	     20     30
Chemical Fuelled Engine 		    20 : 30	     20     36
Hi-mobility wheeled			    20 : 30	     20     45

1 APSW					    20 : 30	      6     83
Basic ECM				    20 : 30	      6     98

Certainly not a tank, but a tri-barreled RFAC can chew up infantry at
close range and lightly armoured vehicles at long quite effectively.
