Warzone: Capitol Purple Shark

Prodos liefern mehr Infos zu den Purple Sharks.

In the Lore:
The Purple Sharks are numerous in Capitolian Warzones, providing quick and reactive fire power where needed most. Each of the jetbikes is armed with a plethora of weaponry. The Armed Forces of Capitol make extensive use of air cavalry units when conducting reconnaissance and scouting missions across the hazardous terrain of Mars, and to a degree over the dense jungles of Venus. Most infantry regiments have a compliment of these airborne units, often issued in large numbers to support ground forces as well as for fast scouting and raiding missions. Purple Sharks are highly manoeuvrable craft, piloted by a single crewman, who has access to not only the fore mounted weapons, but also the ‘Grenadier’; a device that gives the Purple Shark a limited bombing capability.

On the Tabletop:
Purple Sharks are a fast support unit that lay down great fire support for your troops. With a minimum unit size of 2 and a Rate of Fire of 4 each they have no problem suppressing the enemy.

Their Passive Turbo Jet rule makes them more survivable than they might look; it gives them a -4 modifier to the enemies range skill.

The Automated Bombardment rule allows them to make bombing runs when the make a fast move with the number of bombs equal to how many Resource cards you turn.
