The Leclerc rocked back on its suspension as the gunner hummed to himself. The sabot ammunition had proved extremely potent in the limited time the Leclerc had seen action so far.

The thermal imaging LCD screen to the gunner’s side lit up with a gigantic fireball blossoming from the hull of a now turretless Soviet tank as reward for the gunner’s diligence. It barely elicited a glance from the gunner, so certain was he with his weapons prowess.

“Scratch one T-80!” chortled Caporal-Chef Luc Gabin, his glee clear to the driver and commander of the French tank.

Capitaine Andre Saint-Martine grinned to himself. He was proud of his crew and even more proud to be leading the spearhead counterattacking Soviet forces. Switching to the squadron net, Saint-Martine addressed the other twelve tanks under his command. With a powerful electronic battlefield management system, the vehicle had already proven its worth.

With the last remaining enemy tank holding up the advance, he knew it was time to order the advance – and would do so in the time-honoured tradition of his beloved Cuirassiers regiment.

“Gentlemen will adjust their head-dress and prepare to charge”

Roaring along at high speeds, the Cuirassiers extended into echelon left formation, aiming to maximise their ability to engage with the widest possible number of vehicles on the enemy.

With thirteen long 120mm gun barrels aiming forwards it was a foolhardy enemy that would risk the attentions of such potent weapons.
