We are planning an up armored, upgunned version soon.

The AGM-1
Daistallian Military Industries is proud to announce it has brought up to date the venerable assault gun. This armored fighting vehicle was a staple in the mid 20th century, but fell to the wayside in favor of the main battle tank. However, we have updated the design, and find it a cheap and effective alternative to the MBT. It is particularly suited to infantry support and mechanized infantry formations. The our AGM-1 assault gun-mortar allows you to free you tanks and armored formations to stop being infantry assault weapons do what they do best - armored assault!

To get you started the Kingdom of Crookfur will order 50 of these, but we require that you leave the MG mountings empty so we can fit our weapons (we could license you the tech for a duel purpose 20mm GL/MG weapon which might be a nice addition to this).
anyway the 60million will be wired on confirmation of our order.

Most excellent thanks. Your order is confirmed and being readied for shipment.

Many thanks, funds wired.

The Kingdom of United Lupines would like to purchase 100 of these vehicles to begin strengthening its fledgling army. The $120 million will be wired upon acceptance of our order.

The Lupine High Council

Order confirmed.

We thank you for you assistance. The full total is being wired to your account. We thank you once more.

Sales push bump. :)

You wont get this firepower at this price anywhere else. (otherwise you will be driving cardboard tanks. :D )

The Patriotic Socialist Front of Dunyabi wishes to order 1 of these vehicles for our continuing campaign against our bloodthirsty, reactionary government. You can ship the vehicle to the capital without incident, as we've captured most of the government's patrol boats. Your men will be paid in cash when they arrive.

Hmmm... we are not in the habit of arming revolutionary groups. let us know when you have stabilized a bit more and we will be pleased to suply your new government.

We control over %60 of the country, as well as the capital. We doubt our enemies are in any condition to make a reprisal attack at this time. The thing is.. we need these weapons now. If you wait for us to stabilize the war will already have been over, and many more of our soldiers will have been killed for lack of artillery support. Which reminds us.. if you sell any light artillery pieces, we could use those too.

Please note that the AMG-1 serves effectively as SP artillery - that is part of it*s natural function.
We will consider selling you a small number (minimum of 3-5 shall we say), if you can wire us the money upon confirmation of your order. (as per standard procedure)

We note that you should be able to afford 3-5 AMG-1s.

We would also point you towards our small arms division:
http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61069&highlight=

We will purchase three. Money has been wired now that we've managed to convince the bankers not to run for their lives.

We thank you for your custom. When you succed in stabilizing your nation, please contact us for a preferred customer contract if you desire further arms.

We would like to purchase 150 for use as SP mortars. Money wired.

order confirmed. We thank you for your custom.

The Kingdom of Crookfur would like to purchase another 150 of these
the funds have been wired.

i wish to purchase 400 of your special tanks,money on completion

Stinky plops and Crookfur orders confirmed. Shipment to begin on reciept of funds.

We would like to purchase 350 units

$420,000,000

As the orders have been piling up, and we are currently in a crisis situation, it may take a while. we can confirm the order in the next 24 RL hours, if this is acceptable.

acceptable.... money is wired

Order confirmed and pending.

You could definatly fit more then 1 of these on a vehicle like yours.. and I am assuming your picture shows the mortar in a storage position (down like that)

Funds wired.

Please note this is not simply a mortar carrier. It is a multi-role assault gun, intended to provide both indirect and direct fire.

We direct you to more information on the concept: http://www.angelfire.com/art/enchanter/agm.html

sales push bump

I'd like 300 of these fine units, for a price of 3.6 billion (wired) waiting for confermation.

order confirmed. We thank you for your custom.

The DPR (Drapoel People's Republic) is indeed interested in your mechanised assault guns- our own equivalent vehicles have featured field howitzers shoe-horned into 1920/30/40s Japanese tank chassis.

The exact extent of our order/s depends rather on aquiring some additional information on the performance of the primary armament.
We are curious as to 1: The maximum range of the gun-mortar, and 2:The anti-armour capability.

An initial order for 22 pieces can be considered enacted to-day.
Unless the range of the weapon disappoints, the order will likely be doubled soon after. If, however, the weapon proves of worth against the powerful armour used against us, the second or third order may be much larger.

The Republic is currently under siege, with much of the east coast (ooc:We are North Korea IRL terms (part of the Asia region, incase anyone else already claims the land- not interested in arguing!)) is in enemy hands. We advise transport over the northern border into Kanggye. It would also perhaps be best to exchange payment at that location, for security reasons, but electronic transfer will be carried out if desired.

The Foriegn Minister of Quinntonia would ask on behalf of a Coalition of Nations that are currently involved in a full-scale war in Dra-pol, not to begin any arms shipments into Dra-pol. The Coalition has many wealthy nations and you would be endangering future sales to all of us. Aslo, any arms shipments into the area would be considered hostile.
Quintonian would like to order 50 units to be confirmed with your promise to not violate the blockade on Dra-pol.
WWJD
Amen.

(you see what we're up against? ;) )


(Oh! bear in mind that while the...crusaders' economy may be stable..Dra-pol's has grown 4,000% in the past few weeks! Our markets are worth far more! even if only because they will blow up ours faster than we will blow up theirs, thus we will need replacements sooner, heh.)

They may not have a government in a few months. Howener, they are completely incapable of invading us, so we will remain good investments for a good long time.
WWJD
Amen.

We will consider.

Meanwhile, we are producing a "new" MBT!

Gun-Mortar Range:
Indirect: 9 km
Direct 1.2 km

Moderate tank killing ability in DF role

bump for a 103C sales push

Coming soon the T-1 Mahakala, and upgrade of the 103C, and the Begtse Chen IFV, an IFV version of the AGM-1.

200 S-Tanks

*Money Wired*

Order confirmed at a 10% discount - 450 million USD. A pleasure doing business. The tanks will be shipped, with all neccesary supporting documentation, ammunition, and spare parts, shortly. Please allow 1 RL day for shipping, handling, etc.
