The TankHunter Regiment is formed by units trained in the joint use of anti-tank weaponry and camouflage techniques. These specialized units are part of the Ariadnan army’s attempt to make up for its lack of large quantities of heavy equipment with a regiment capable of leveling the field against highly armored enemies. The regiment subjects its soldiers to demanding training, hammering them into remarkably efficient units. The cost of this training is high: desertions, medical leave for exhaustion and pain, and the odd suicide. The regimental creed is that the only way to get real TankHunters is to devise a training program so hard that trainees can feel proud of having survived it. Their standard operating procedure is based on a meticulous knowledge of an area and the use of hiding techniques, so that their ambush attacks and lightning strikes can be followed by quick withdrawals before the enemy can get his bearings. This MO is so effective that the unofficial regimental motto has become “Wait, shoot, run”. TankHunters are also recovery experts, trained to disable enemy vehicles so that they can be repaired and reused by their comrades.
