TNK 7 Wood mobile Geartank

Written by Salen

The TNK 7 is the dwarven answer to a forest Geartank. Before, all of the Geartanks they had could never push past the large trees in the ancient forests, they were just too big. When their Gearfleet was defeated on the Crystal River they were determined to find some way to penetrate the forests. They started with a Geartank design and cut it in half length wise, making it a one person vehicle, and replaced the wheels and forge with smaller versions. It has three wheels for maneuverability, and can still roll over most debris. There is no compartment for extra coal, but the TNK 7 can pull a coal cart behind it for reserves. The steam driven clockwork gears propel the vehicle across the land at medium pace, and the covering has slits for the driver to see.  

Surprise Attack

During the battle at Arimandrian, the TNK 7's performed excellently, but when they were over run, they tended to falter. One driver found the answer to this in an unexpected oops. He released the bombs but then got stuck. Fifteen elves jumped the Geartank trying to pry the hatch open and slay the driver, but then the bomb went off. The TNK hadn't gone far enough to get clear, but surprisingly it took very little damage. The fifteen elves however didn't fare as well. This maneuver is highly regarded as a suicide maneuver, but a lot of TNK drivers feel it is a saving grace.
