ROSKANAN DOMINION
"Pro Mars, Pro Populo, Pro Roskana!"
ARMED FORCES OF ROSKANA
Transport Vehicles and Armored Cars
Rockadder Model-2
A simple truck, made for transporting equipment and people across long distances. Not in comfort, and it is quite prone to breaking down.
The vast majority of these were given to Grinvel at the signing of the separate peace deal, though some remain in Roskanan hands. However, they are being phased out for the more reliable Model-4.
Rockadder Model-3A
The M3A was designed to meet the needs of the army specifically, and was introduced in 1935 primarily as a artillery carrier, though it excelled in logistical and transport roles as well thanks to its newer suspension.
All of these were retained in secret by the Roskanan army, as only about 2000 have been produced, though the Roskanan army intends only to utilize this as a transport truck.
Roskana Motor-Works Model-1 Armored Car
A basic armored car based on the chasis of the Rockadder Model-2, but was only adopted in small numbers in the 20's, and ultimately remained in storage rather than seeing steady use due to the Model-2 immediately being preferable. It has a bunch of gunports and no turret, light armor that is largely inadequate against modern high-caliber ammunition, ala anti-tank rifles or even high powered rifle rounds.
Roskana Motor-Works Model-2 Armored Car
A relativley old design for an armored car, the vehicle has only a front facing port for a machine gun and no ability to rotate the weapon, or turret.
These were used widely more for logistical purposes until recently, where they've begun to be phased out for more modern designs. Its old engine as well struggles to move all of its weight at a sustainable speed on any sort of incline.
Roskana Motor-Works Model-4 Armored Combat Vehicle
A newer generation of armored car, the RMW-M4 is a wholly new armored vehicle introduced in 1932.
It's new engine allows it to move quickly across inclines, and its slightly better level of protection than that of the original Model-2 has made it widely favored. It has a turret ring but not a traditional turret, mounting a machine gun, though they can mount 40mm autocannons.

Roskanan Tanks and Armored Vehicles
Auramettle M2A1 Tankette
Introduced in the mid 1930's, the M2A1 was designed to fill the role of a light armored vehicle and was manufactured in batches to give infantry a relatively strong form of protection against machine gun fire. It was armed with a machine gun itself, believed to be adequate for its given roles on the battlefield, though proven to be relatively inadequate for more than anti-infantry duty as a rapidly mobile defender. The M2A2 variant, armed with a 40mm Cannon, was more effective against armored vehicles, but did not make the model worth keeping as the army has phased it out in favor of the M2A4 Combat Tankette, though they have kept some M2A1's for conversion into the M2A3 Flamethrower Carrier.
Auramettle M2A4 Combat Tankette
Armed with a 40mm Autocannon, and somewhat thicker frontal armor, as well as a top mounted machine gun, the M2A4 Combat Tankette is slated to replace all M2A1 and M2A2's in active service. It is meant mostly to serve as fire support and a scout vehicle, for breaking through light resistance and taking on armored cars and other tankettes.
Auramettle Mark 1 Landship (female)
The Mark 1 Landship, female variant, is a machine gun armed tracked heavy tank, with relatively thick armor, designed to get around the hurdles of trench warfare, rather than to take on other armored vehicles. Because of their relatively small numbers and combat ineffectiveness, the Roskanan military has largely abandoned Landships for domestic use and has slated all of them for decommissioning.
Auramettle Mark 1 Landship (male)
Like the Female Variant, the Male was designed to overcome the hurdles of trench warfare, but with added focus for taking on other landships and fortifications, as it is armed with 75mm Field guns. The vehicles, like the female variant landships, have been largely declared to be ineffective, and are slated to be decommissioned.
Auramettle-B&A Model 2 Light Tank
A modern design, the ABA M2 light tank, or just M2 Light Tank, is designed for infantry support and scouting duties, as well as supporting forces in rapid maneuvers with its relatively quick speed. While it was going to be the most heavily employed tank in Roskanan use, the vehicle was ultimately sidelined for the development and employment of medium tanks, due to its lacking armor protection against other tanks, and relatively light gun. The Model-2A1 is expected to be able to better take on armor with its upgraded gun and additional armor. Older models use the 37mm Gun, new models use a 65mm Gun.
Auramettle-B&A Model-1 Medium Tank
The M1 Medium Tank is designed to combat other tanks directly, and is specifically meant to be a balance of firepower, speed, and armor. The Roskanan army has placed high hopes on the tank, intending to use it against Galra and other adversaries abroad. It's armor is thickest towards the front and is sloped, able to handle direct hits at an angle, though when struck dead on it tends to falter as it is only about 62mm thick, though the sloped armor can deflect a strike of low enough velocity/mass. Uses the 90mm Anti-Tank Gun.
Auramettle-B&A Model-2 Heavy Tank
A beast of a tank, the M2 Heavy is a slow, easy to spot, but heavily armed and armored assault vehicle. It's frontal armor is the heaviest of any tank in service with the armed forces of the Roskanan Dominion, and its 155mm gun is enough to out class all but other heavy tanks on the field. While its speed is obviously quite lacking, and it's easy to see coming, these tanks are nothing to sneeze at. It is the successor to the Model-1, which while designed and a handful built, did not make it out of testing and was superceded by the current M2.
