While the original M113 used an aluminum hull, the GDI APC uses more advanced materials for similar protection and light weight for good speed. Crewed by a driver and commander, with a top hatch above each, with a M60 mounted above the commander's position, with a large rear door. It takes a full-round action to enter the vehicle through a top hatch, and a a full round to start it moving. The APC is three squares wide and four squares long, providing full cover to its occupants. When the commander is using the M60, he has three-quarters cover provided by the gun shield.Crew: 2Passengers: 11Cargo: 200 lbsInit: -2Maneuver: -2Top Speed: 64 (6) (300 miles / tank), 30 (3) on waterDefense: 8Hardness: 10Hit Points: 50Size: GargantuanPurchase DC: 39Restriction: Mil (+3)Accessories: M-60 medium machine gun, 2 4-barrel smoke grenade launchers, thermal/nightvision for driver and commander, GPS, military radio, headlightsNotes: Amphibious.Weapons<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Name</td><td>Damage</td><td>Critical</td><td>Damage Type</td><td>Range Incr</td><td>Rate of Fire</td><td>Magazine</td><td>Controller</td></tr><tr><td>M-60 Medium Machine gun</td><td>2d8</td><td>20</td><td>Ball</td><td>100 ft</td><td>A</td><td>Linked (2500 rds)</td><td>Commander</td></tr><tr><td>Smoke Grenade Launcher (2)</td><td>None</td><td>-</td><td>None</td><td>50 ft</td><td>Semi </td><td>8 Grenades</td><td>Driver or Commander</td></tr></table>APC mk2The APC is an old vehicle and was quickly outclassed, but the GDI needed vehicles quickly during the 23 Hours and in the chaos of Kane's attacks, many old vehicles were quickly retrofitted and sent into combat. Most APC mk2s were used for garrison and training duties, but many did see frontline combat. Additional armour was added, the M-60 was replaced with a railgun, a slightly more powerful engine was installed for increased speed. Half the smoke grenade launchers were replaced with ALA launchers, plus a two shot Javelin launcher was mounted to the roof, but the vehicle had to be stationary to launch them as the mk2 didn't have any improved sensors installed. GDI keeps a few mk2s for training and parade purposes, but others were sold off. The design is licenced to some of their allies.Make the following changes to the APC to make APC mk2:Increase hit points by +5;Increase Defense by +1;Increase Hardness to 12;Increase speed to 70 (7);Replace M-60 machine gun with railgun;Replace 1 smoke grenade launcher with 1 ALA launcherPDC +1.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Name</td><td>Damage</td><td>Critical</td><td>Damage Type</td><td>Range Incr</td><td>Rate of Fire</td><td>Magazine</td><td>Controller</td></tr><tr><td>Railgun</td><td>3d12</td><td>20</td><td>Ball</td><td>120 ft</td><td>A</td><td>Linked (3000 rds)</td><td>Commander</td></tr><tr><td>Smoke Grenade Launcher (1)</td><td>None</td><td>-</td><td>None</td><td>50 ft</td><td>Semi </td><td>8 Grenades</td><td>Driver or Commander</td></tr><tr><td>Anti-Laser Aerosol Launcher (1)</td><td>None</td><td>-</td><td>None</td><td>30 ft radius</td><td>Single</td><td>4 uses</td><td>Driver or Commander</td></tr><tr><td>TOW Launcher Javelin (2)</td><td>11d6</td><td>20</td><td>Fire</td><td>200 ft</td><td>Semi</td><td>2 missiles</td><td>Commander</td></tr></table>ALA - Anti-Laser Aerosol launchers release a cloud covering a 30 foot radius around the vehicle, reducing damage from laser based attacks by 50%. This cloud also grants some concealment of 10% miss chance. The cloud persists for 2d4 rounds, however strong winds of over 30 mph will dissipate the cloud in 2 rounds. The Laumer Abrams can use its heavy laser cannon while the cloud is active, but it only deals half damage as the cloud reduces its effectiveness.Javelin TOW MissilesNext-generation of guided anti-armour weapon system. Developed late in the 20th century, it become quite common amongst some of the major militaries.It features improvements over other anti-armour weapons including imaging infrared system, fire and forget capacity. It can also be used in a limited anti-aircraft capacity against slow, low-flying aircraft, such as helicopters. The missile's normal attack mode is top-down, in which it attacks the thinly armoured roof of an armoured vehicle, but can be switched to a direct targeting assault mode, good for attacking the sides of armoured vehicles, or attacking fortified or reinforced structures. The weapon also has a "soft launch" signature, producing lower overpressure and backblast than its predecessors, making it more ideal for use in enclosed spaces.Javelin (PL5 Exotic Weapon Proficiency)Damage: 11d6, ignore 13 points of hardnessBlast Radius: 15 ftCritical: 20 x2Damage Type: fireRange Increment: 200 ftNotes: Ignores 13 points of hardness, will not fire at a target within 30 feet. In top-down fire mode takes full round to fire, ignore 1 point of Defense from target's armour and a further 4 points of hardness, but reduce range increment by 50 feet. In direct fire mode, firing is a normal attack action.Amphibious APCGDIs second generation APC is a 6 wheeled vehicle with an improved amphibious design, but unarmed, to save on weight to allow it to be faster and save on costs. Once GDI was able to produce more advanced models, this version of the APC is regulated to purely transport and training, or sold off as they lack offensive capabilities. The Amphibious APC is three squares wide and four squares long, providing full cover to its occupants, a single top hatch over the driver, plus a large rear door..Crew: 1Passengers: 12Cargo: 550 lbsInit: -2Maneuver: -1Top Speed: 90 (9) (300 miles / tank), 60 (6) on waterDefense: 8Hardness: 12Hit Points: 55Size: GargantuanPurchase DC: 38Restriction: Mil (+3)Accessories: 2 4-barrel smoke grenade launchers, thermal/nightvision for driver and commander, GPS, military radio, headlights, half penalties for rough terrain.Notes: Amphibious.M121 Guardian APCThis 6 wheeled APC is GDI's third generation APC, with the front wheels on two extended outriggers for better steering and off-road handling, a wedge shaped hull improves protection against IEDs and mines. Armed with a top mounted dual barreled heavy machine gun turret capable of engaging both ground and light aerial targets. The Guardian is fitted with a mine laying system, allowing it to create small mine fields, with teams of Guardians able to create large mine fields in short order. Along each side of the passenger compartment are firing ports to allow troops inside to use their weapons. The roof has two hatches with adjustable pintle mounts to allow troops with heavier weapons such as heavy machine guns or rocket launchers to add their firepower to the Guardian's offensive capabilities.The Guardian is three squares wide, four and half squares long, providing full cover to its occupants. Anyone firing using the top hatch has half cover. Requires a crew of three, driver, gunner and commander.Crew: 3Passengers: 10Cargo: 500 lbsInit: -2Maneuver: -2Top Speed: 90 (9)Defense: 8Hardness: 12Hit Points: 55Size: GargantuanPurchase DC: 40Restriction: Mil (+3)Accessories: Dual .50 cal machine guns, 2 4-barrel smoke grenade launchers, fire-control computer, thermal/nightvision for driver, gunner and commander, GPS, military radio, headlights, mine layer system, firing ports.Notes: Half penalties for rough terrain, NBC protection grants +4 to Fort saves, attacks with machine gun turret gain +1 to attack rolls.Weapons<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Name</td><td>Damage</td><td>Critical</td><td>Damage Type</td><td>Range Incr</td><td>Rate of Fire</td><td>Magazine</td><td>Controller</td></tr><tr><td>Dual .50 cal Machine gun</td><td>3d12</td><td>20</td><td>Ball</td><td>120</td><td>A</td><td>Linked (3000 rds)</td><td>Gunner</td></tr><tr><td>Smoke Grenade Launcher (2)</td><td>None</td><td>-</td><td>None</td><td>50 ft</td><td>Semi </td><td>12 Grenades</td><td>Driver or Commander</td></tr><tr><td>Mine Layer</td><td>Varies</td><td>-</td><td>Varies</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>5 to 10 mines</td><td>Gunner or Commander</td></tr></table>Firing PortsThere are six sealable ports, three each side, that infantry inside can fire up to a large sized rifle through, however suffers -2 to attack rollsMine LayerThe Guardian can deploy a minefield, requiring a Knowledge (tactics) DC 15 and 1d4+1 minutes work to deploy its mines to cover a 20 foot by 20 foot area for small mines, or 30 ft by 30 ft area for larger mines.

Able to repair up to 50 hit points worth of repairs. If not carrying passengers can increase this to 200 hit points.Guardian A2An upgraded Guardian, replacing the .50 cal machine guns with railguns, adding anti-laser protection systems and improved targeting systems. The mine layer also has an enlarged magazine capacity.Make the following changes to upgrade a Guardian APC to a Guardian A2:Increase hit points by 5;Increase number of smoke grenades by double (24 total)Replace dual .50 cal machine guns with dual railguns;Minelayer carries double number of mines;Add TOS system;Add ALA system;Add upgraded targeting system;PDC: +2TOS - Tactical Ops System combines GPS, military radio, the targeting system and computer systems to aid in co-ordinating combat with allied units. The Commander can designate up to 5 allies (or allied vehicles), granting them +1 to attacks and a +1 circumstance bonus to Defense against the target the tank is attacking. This bonus stacks with if any of the designated allies (or allied vehicles) also have a TOS system, or any other bonus from abilities or the Aid Other action that increases bonuses to attack while all allies are attacking the same target.ALA - Anti-Laser Aerosol launchers release a cloud covering a 30 foot radius around the vehicle, reducing damage from laser based attacks by 50%. This cloud also grants some concealment of 10% miss chance. The cloud persists for 2d4 rounds, however strong winds of over 30 mph will dissipate the cloud in 2 rounds.Upgraded Targeting - All weapons suffer only half penalties to attack rolls while the vehicle is moving, even at full speed, and gain +2 to attack rolls while the vehicle is stationary.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Name</td><td>Damage</td><td>Critical</td><td>Damage Type</td><td>Range Incr</td><td>Rate of Fire</td><td>Magazine</td><td>Controller</td></tr><tr><td>Dual Railguns</td><td>4d12</td><td>20</td><td>Ball</td><td>120 ft</td><td>A</td><td>Linked (5000 rds)</td><td>Gunner</td></tr><tr><td>Anti-Laser Aerosol Launcher (2)</td><td>None</td><td>-</td><td>None</td><td>30 ft radius</td><td>Single</td><td>6 uses</td><td>Driver or Commander</td></tr></table></blockquote>
