Enemy Troop Carrier Tanks

The twenty tanks · Decoy tanks

Twenty idle WWI-style armored troop carriers that Carl suspects are decoys, unmoved since being uncovered.

Story so far

Tran pats a spot on the map where twenty tanks sit idle behind the enemy line. Carl observes they have not moved since they were uncovered and wonders aloud whether they are decoys; Elle offered to take a closer look, but he told her to stay back.

If they are real, the tanks count as armor, and they are all WWI-style troop carriers with various turrets. Carl suspects they would then be the same as the crawlers' own Spider Tanks — temporary pieces of crap that serve a purpose until they are either disassembled or blown to hell.

Appearance

Twenty WWI-style tracked troop carriers fitted with assorted turrets, sitting motionless behind the enemy trenches.

Role

Possible decoy armor, or a disposable enemy mechanized reserve.

Relationships

Spider Tanks — Carl suspects they are the same disposable class of armor
Carl — Believes they may be decoys and kept Elle away from them
Elle — Uncovered them and offered to scout closer
