Sketches – Elysian Traffic Control

One of the challenges in managing flying traffic is managing traffic lanes. Unlike ground traffic, you can't just paint stripes on the road, and with the sheer volume of flying traffic in a modern city, it's impossible to rely on basic elevation management. Fortunately, by the time anti-grav technology is mature enough to be used… Continue reading Sketches – Elysian Traffic Control

Sketches – Elysian Main Battle Tank

Another vehicle that I sketched out while I was writing the battle of Finn's Massif on Dave's World. While the deWulf have a more classical slab-sided rhombus, Elysian tanks were meant to be much more of a smoothly shaped, refined design. The Elysian tank borrows a bit from hovercraft in that they have an armoured… Continue reading Sketches – Elysian Main Battle Tank

Sketches – deWulf “Stuttgart” Support Tank

The Stuttgart was first mentioned on turn 69, right after the Wulf Heavy Tank. One of the problems that the deWulf realized they had a good main battle tank, and some good light recon, but they were lacking mobile fire support. Especially something that could come in close and smother a target in precision firepower.… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf “Stuttgart” Support Tank

Sketches – deWulf “Wulf” Heavy Tank

The Wulf gets its first mention back on turn 69, as it's getting put through its paces on the test track, and this was the first ground vehicle that I worked out for the deWulf universe. It helped establish the basic lines for a deWulf ground unit: sloped armour all around, with a few hatches… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf “Wulf” Heavy Tank

Sketches – deWulf “Dachs” Recon Hover

The Dachs first got a mention back in Turn 96, as the deWulf Army was being pushed back into its final defensive lines on Dave's World. The Dachs is a light scout hovertank, and it roughly fills the same niche that a Wiesel does. I can't think of anything comparable in the American or Russian… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf “Dachs” Recon Hover
