The Victor Siege Tank
The WFP is the poorest league in the northern hemisphere. Because of this, the Protectorate has needed to be economical with its purchases and acquisitions. This frugality has led to a number of highly rugged designs and Westerners hold as a point of pride the ingenuity needed to keep many of them in service far longer than then expected. One major area of cost is in main battle tanks. The WFP, like its northern neighbors uses the Norlight Aller tank and supplements with its own unique designs as needed. The cost of a full tank and the advanced weapons have always put a strain on the Protectorates limited resources. The WFP looked to Western Armories to produce a cheap tank/siege vehicle that could be used in place of Allers or in support of them. Western Armories started with the basic Aller hull and made an extensive set of changes which resulted in the Victor self-propelled gun. The Victor, named after Cristobal Victor, a historic clan head from the Cristobal clan, was the answer. The cost savings on forgoing the use of a turret and several other features makes this tank cheap while its reputation against much more advanced tanks makes it popular. Brok Enterprises has been somewhat quiet about the use of the chassis for this new design. The fact that Western Armories buys the chassis from Brok before modification has somewhat soothed any ruffled feathers.
