Gorgona
Notes: Described
by its crews as an "armored sports car," the Gorgona was designed for rapid road
reconnaissance and some off-road work.
It is basically an automobile with armor, night vision devices,
amphibious capability, and armament.
The weapon mount on the roof above the commander's position can mount any
weapon designed for an NLT or NMT; a typical weapon is shown below.
This weapon can be aimed and fired by the commander without having to
expose himself. The engine is in
the rear and there is a large trunk up front.
The windows are of bullet-resistant glass. The only users of this vehicle
are the Italian Carabinieri, Oman, and Saudi Arabia.

Centauro B1
Notes: There are
two hatches on the turret for the gunner and commander, and one on the front
deck for the driver. The Centauro
can ford 1.5 meters with no preparation.
The vehicle has an independent auxiliary power unit for basic electrical
needs, thus saving fuel while idling.
The Centauro is equipped with NBC protective filtration.
The gunner and commander share a stabilized thermal imager (both may use
it at the same time).
Due to the
Centauro’s turret, any turret hit that results in an ammunition explosion does
not automatically kill the crew and destroy the vehicle.
Instead, consider all turret weapons, sensors, and electronics to be
damaged and inoperative. Then apply
50 points of concussion damage to the commander, gunner, and loader.
(Hull hits which cause an ammunition explosion still destroy the vehicle
and kill the crew; 14 rounds are stored in the turret, and 26 in the hull.)
There are
attachment lugs on the turret front and hull front for reactive armor.
The Centauro is normally found only in airborne, air assault, and light
infantry units.

Lizard F333E
Notes: The
Lizard is a very light and basic armored car that was meant primarily as a
liaison and reconnaissance vehicle.
The vehicle is little more than an armored jeep, but has some extra utility,
able to mount machineguns, recoilless rifles, or light ATGM.
The vehicle has extra mine protection, and the floor is treated as having
the same armor protection as the hull front.
Only 15 prototypes were built.

R3
Notes: This
vehicle looks like something out a science fiction movie, with its long, low,
slender silhouette. The chassis is
based on that of the Gorgona, while the body is long and wedge shaped, with
armor sloped on all sides. The
driver is at the front with windows directly in front and to the sides; he has a
hatch on top of his compartment.
The commander’s position is to the rear and right of the driver’s position.
To the rear is a hatchway that can be fitted with a variety of weapons
stations or light turrets. On each
side of the hull is another door, and to the rear of those doors is a firing
port with vision block.
The T 12.7 FA
has an externally mounted M-2HB machinegun that may be aimed and fired from
within the vehicle. The T 7.62 FA
is the same, but has a lighter machinegun.
The T 20 FA-HS is also similar, but uses a 20mm autocannon.
The Folgore x2 FA has two Folgore recoilless rifles and a light
machinegun; these cannot be aimed or fired from within the vehicle.
(The Folgores are treated as being mounted on a tripod with optronic
sight.) The T 106 x2 FA is similar
to the Folgore vehicle, but uses two M-40A2 106mm recoilless rifles and has no
machinegun. As might be guessed,
the TOW FA has a TOW II system.
The R3 was never
actually put into production.
