Thanks for this cute unit.

 

[Mr. Will]

awesome.
can you tell us what it was used for?

 

[Ozymandias]

Nice one, ripptide. There's been a debate going on about upgrade paths for cavalry -- this should DEFINITELY fit in there somewhere ...

@Mr. Will -- armored recon & general mayhem-making. "ACAV" is short for either "Armored Cavalry" or "Air Cavalry" depending on context.

Thanks all)
there' a bit about its history in the readme Mr. Will, basically it was an up-armoured and up-gunned version of the basic M113 that was used in Viet-Nam

Yes! I now have the full line:
Motorized Infantry (truck) ---> Mobile Infantry (APCs) ---> Mechanized Infantry (IFVs)

Thanks again for another beautiful unit.

I use it for an American UU replacing the mech infantry. It has better attack than it's counterpart. Not too accurate but what the hell.
