Wargames Atlantic Quar Crusader Ailthean Tractor – 28mm Vehicle
Armor, Grit, and 78mm of Persuasion
The Ailthean Light Armored Tractor first rolled into service in 1750. With scouting and pursuit duties along the rugged Tok-Kryst frontier becoming the norm, the Tokish Tractor Corps needed a vehicle that could actually keep up. Unlike its predecessors, the Ailthean was a clean-slate design, built from the treads up — boasting thicker armor, an enclosed hull, a vastly improved suspension, and twice the cadier-power of the previous designs.
But this performance came at a cost: the fighting compartment is tight, hot, and deafening. During long marches, it’s common to see the commander and gunner perched atop the hull for a breath of air and elbow room, while the poor driver clanks along below, sweating and cursing every rut in the trail.
Designed as a rhyfler support tractor, the Ailthean scouts ahead, screens advancing units, and lends its 78mm gun to the line when things get loud. Effective against infantry and lighter foes alike — though that turret-by-transmission arrangement does require the target to hold still.
