Northern Gun NG AA-1 "Brickwall"

The "Brickwall" is the latest creation to roll out of the Northern Gun factories. With its powerful tank chassis the "Brickwall" is capable of travelling over the most adverse terrain and has the capability to take out most airborne targets.

Model Type: NG AA-1
Class: Tracked Anti-Air Platform
Crew: 3, Driver, Communication Officier, & Gunner. Can squeeze in two additional passengers.

M.D.C. by location:

Main Turret (1)- 250

NG-202 Gun (4)- 80 each

*Main Body- 450

**Tracked Treads (2)- 100 each

Reinforced Crew Compartment (Main Body)- 100

Reinforced Gunner Compartment (Turret)- 80

Ammo Drum (2)- 180

*** & ****Main Sensor, Turret (1)- 50

***Headlights (4)- 20 each

* Depleting the M.D.C. from the main body will render the vehicle immobile and shut the tank down.
** Depleting the M.D.C. of a tread will render the tank immobile until it is replaced. Replacing the tread will take 1D4x10 minutes by a trained crew (2 replacement come with the tank) or three times as long by a untrained crew. Changing the tread is normally done only outside of combat.
*** These targets are small and difficult to hit. Each requires a called shot at a -2 penalty.
**** If the sensor dish is destroyed, all radar targeting is lost, the gunner and A.I. lose all bonuses to strike, and attacking targets is limited to visual range.

Weapon Systems

1.) Quad NG-203 Anti-Air Gun (1):
This is the "Brickwall"'s only weapon. Four NG-202's mounted on a high speed turret with 360 degree horizontal and 90 degree vertical elevation.

Primary Purpose: Anti-Air

Secondary Purpose: Defense

Weight: 8 Tons

Mega-Damage: Single shot (4D4 M.D.C.), Burst of 160 rounds (4D4x10 M.D.C.).

Rate of Fire: Equal to combined H-T-H attacks of gunner. A.I. control will give 5 attacks per melee.

Effective Range: 8500' (2576 m)

Payload: 16,000 rounds (8000 rounds per ammo drum)

Sensor Systems: Has all standard vehicle features plus ...

- 1) Enhanced Radar: Can identify and simultaneously track up to 96 different targets. Range of 400 miles (640 km).

- 2) A.I. Gunner: A modified NG A.I. is installed as a backup gunner. The gunner has five attacks per melee and attacks targets based on a target threat assiment, database of all known vehicles, aircraft, robots, P.A., and alien lifeforms (89%), and will attack targets on a priority rating. The A.I. will also accept any target paramiters from the gunner, driver, or comm. officer. Ex. Attack all targets normally but ignore all C.S. vehicles. A.I. has +2 to strike.

NOTE: Gunner has a +1 to strike due to sensors. The NG AA-1 "Brickwall" is deployed with convoys and armor formations as low level protection. The "Brickwall" has proven extremely effective vs. the C.S. SAMAS's. This vehicle stressed relations between NG and CS. A convoy of 160 "Brickwalls" and several dozen trucks of ammo and spare parts heading for Lone Star was ambushed and captured by Tolkeen forces. The "Brickwall"'s later appeared at Tolkeen adding to that states already highly effective anti-air capabilities. The CS suspects that NG setup the capture of the convoy as a covert sale to CS enemies. They are not amused.
