Fortnum P1 Armoured Personnel Carrier

Fortnum P1 Armoured Personnel Carrier

As lessons learned from previous conflicts, Arcandian Commanders became increasingly aware that the armies that could deliver troops into battle unscathed would be the ones that succeeded. In response to this change in tactics, the Ministry of War turned back to Fortnum to solve their dilemma; resulting in the P1 Armoured Personnel Carrier.

Whilst not being the most heavily armoured vehicle on the battlefield [not to mention completely unarmed], the P1 served galiantly in its first combat début in early 1948; where several hundred soldiers were successfully transferred across streets of Grace Anwood whilst under heavy fire from small arms and anti-tank weapons. None of the soldiers were injured when deployed and they successfully suppressed the armed uprising.
