Covington Proving Grounds, Northeastern Gallia

''It was an abnormally busy night at the Covington Proving Grounds. Many tanks are moving around the proving grounds, testing whether or not they have defects. Some Challenger tanks are firing at the burned-out hulks of what used to be some worn-out M60 Pattons. Some Centurions are testing their suspension at a patch of land designed to simulate different kinds of terrain.''

''Meanwhile, in an underground bunker, Field Marshal Hamilton Whitehall was overseeing the final touches of a new vehicle. Compared to other tanks, this one was a lot smaller.''

"Sir, the new tank is ready for testing."

"Splendid! Now, shall we bring her above? Let's go!"

''The 10m door, designed to withstand a 60 MT nuclear bomb, opened slowly. From there, came the new tank. Immediately, it accelerated. The speed surprised Whitehall, with the tank accelerating to 49 km/h in 6.8 seconds. Then, it turned sharply to the right, towards a 700 m long road. There, it accelerated to a top speed of 87 km/h, before stopping at the end, where the target range is. It aimed its gun at a Challenger MK II, rendered inoperable due to a defect. It fired a HEAT shell, and immediately, the Challenger was pierced through and went up in flames.''

''The new tank is Gallia's latest combat platform. Armed with all the latest land warfare technology of Gallia, it is the FV 610 Advanced Combat Platform. Armed with a 175 mm high-velocity gun with an autoloader, armored with Helmsley armor, with a 1,850 hp engine as a power plant, and also having stealth capability the Advanced Combat Platform will be the basis for an IFV, an ARV, an APC, and an SPG.''
