Recognition notes
The Rommel Tank (Gauss) is a 65-ton tracked combat vehicle fielded as a brawler, cruising at 43 km/h with a top speed of 65. Where the base Rommel Tank mounts a single Small Laser on the front hull, this variant carries two Machine Guns there instead, and a further Machine Gun covers the rear arc that the base model lacks entirely. The turret drops the base model's LRM 5 and Autocannon/20 in favor of a Gauss Rifle, two Medium Lasers, and two Machine Guns. The crew rides behind Ferro-Fibrous plate in place of the base model's Standard armor, keeping the same low, hard-to-target silhouette. Defiance Industries builds it at Hesperus II.
