Description
These are vehicles for the Marbanian side of my webcomic Inner Space. They will have a semi-active role in the comic appearing a few times but for the most part they will be used as background props.

*************************************************

The M.A.E.G. MB-0311 is the standard APC of the Marbanian Army. Like it's main rival, the Tambrian Army, Marbanian Army doctrine mandates that troops dismount to fight but keep the vehicle for close support, thus making this a cross between a battle-taxi and an Infantry Fighting Vehicle. It is armed with two 6.0 hatte (8mm) machine guns and can carry a complement of 6 battle-ready infantrymen (a platoon section), a driver, a vehicle commander and a gunner.
The troopers can also use their weapons from inside the vehicle, firing through loopholes on each sides of the troop compartment.

*************************************************

Based on the same chassis as the MB-0311, the The M.A.E.G. MB-0351 is a hybrid APC/Light Tank Destroyer, being equipped with a 8.0 parme (10.6cm) anti-tank recoilless rifle and a 1.5 parme (2cm) autocannon for engaging lightly armoured vehicles replacing the twin machine guns of the APC. The MB-0351 is primarily an ambush hunter, since the breech design of the recoilless rifle requires that it's crew be outside of the armour in order to fire it and also, the range of the weapon is severely limited when compared with the cannon of a full-size tank. The small size and heavy punch makes this a remarkably deadly vehicle though, even though it's light armour (2.5 parme, approx 3cm) means it's vulnerable to anything past 1.5 parme in calibre. The crew is composed of driver, commander, turret gunner, AT gunner, loader and two assistants. The rest of the available space is used for ammunition storage.

*************************************************

The final iteration of this versatile chassis is the unique MB-0811 self-propelled howitzer. It mounts a powerful 12 parme (16cm) howitzer but, unlike most vehicles of this kind, it also retains the original MG turret for close defence, even though that means the internal ammunition storage is reduced to just 16 rounds and the vehicle needs to be accompanied by ammunition carriers at all times in order to be effective. The crew complement is 7- driver, vehicle commander and turret gunner + 4 crew for the howitzer.
