A famous armoured regiment, reduced to riding toys to fulfil their "armoured recce" function. Gawdalmighty.
Geoff: I sure you meant to say "Cougars" that have been taken from an Armoured Recce unit. The "Grizzly" is used by Mech Inf in much the same manner as M113s(i.e. battlefield taxis). It features the Cadillac-Gage 1 meter, one man turret containing 1 x .50 cal HMG and 1 x 7.62mm GPMG. The Cougar is (or was supposed to be a tank-trainer, never to be used operationally) featuring a 76mm gun in its 2 man turret. Both, and a recovery variant, were all based on the 6 wheel Piranha hull.

Just a small correction, Sunray, gotta keep you in line.
