Strike Legion: The VICAR Project

The first time I saw one was when I was evacuated from the Death Valley camp. I didn’t get to see it up close; since it wasn’t one of ours, that’s probably a good thing - I’d already be dead. It was probably 5-6 miles away from my vantage point, and it looked like a city block had sprouted treads and guns and started moving. I later learned that these weren’t proper VICAR units - there weren’t any in the initial invasion force - but VIPRs, and that some VICAR units are even larger.

The VICAR Project is an expansion for use with the Strike Legion Tactical gaming system that introduces Oversized Vehicles into your tactical gaming battles, along with rules for campaign gaming using the Strike Legion Tactical system. Included in this volume:
