Notes
Designed originally to meet a requirement put forth by Rimbauld, KMC's IFV-2 Normandy performed so well in tests that the design has since been adopted as the DKA's next-generation Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

Built with a highly modular design, the Normandy is capable of being converted from its baseline design to a Mortar carrier, a gun carrier, a command-post vehicle, an ambulance, as well as a minesweeper, engineer support vehicle, ARV, and dry, wet, and General Purpose logistics vehicles through the replacement of its componants and its entirely modular turret.

Although all fire-controls for this capable vehicle have manual backups, the primary fire function is highly computerized to allow first-round first-hit capability against enemy vehicles, even on the move. As well, the vehicle's design allows most componants to be serviced by the crew without ever leaving the vehicle.

Definately a good vehicle there! Depending on any other competetors that come along with their product, I think Har Land will purchase a few of your IFV-2 Normandy'.

We are currently in talks with other defense ministers on how many to buy, and which ones.

Would anyone else show their products they have to our originall stated topic?

Kotterdam, if purchased, must we pruchase variants seperately? Or can we buy ten for example, and make them into our own variants?

Either way, Har Land wants ten of your vehicles

The Democratic Republic or Har Land awards The Dominion of Kotterdam with a 37.1 million dollar weapons contract.

Purchase order:
10x Vehicle IFV-2 Normandy

*Money wired*

give me 15 of those normandys!ill give 20 million!

The Normandy is an extremely modular vehicle. Any configuration of Normandy can be converted to any other configuration in a matter of hours.

For half the price of one Normandy, you will recieve one full set of conversion kits. This will allow you to convert one Normandy into any of the variants put forward here. This is more useful than it might seem, because the full set of conversion kits contains enough componants to convert one Normandy per configuration. To wit, you could convert one of each.

Whether you wish to purchase the conversion kits, your order has been filled. It has been a pleasure to do business with you.

Order confirmed. Enjoy.

The Wolverine Advanced Urban Combat Vehicle
http://www.jed.simonides.org/8x8afv/echo/exf_series/exf/exf_002.jpg
The Wolverine is an 8 wheeled AFV which was specially engineered for Urban Combat. With a relatively low weight of 29 tons and a 8x8 steering system it is very fast and agile. One of it's big advantages in urban combat scenarios is the fact that it can use it's advanced thermal imager to see through walls and rubble, reducing the likelyhood of an ambush. It can also see through street corners, enabling it to see other AFV's or tanks. The thermal imager provides a 360 degree view, has a range of almost 2km, and it's sensitivity is adjustable.

The V Corporation Defence Review

On the Normandy:

"A primitive, yet practical little beast that will go well with any armoured core. Perhaps a little overpriced" - Rating: 8Vs.

On the Wolverine:

"If you are limited on funds, but need a basic solution, then this cost-effective little tank will go all the way" - Rating: 7Vs.

Thank you Rumania, and Kotterdam for helping create Har Land's first light armor&infantry brigade.

It has been a pleasure, Har Land. In case you need help finding us, here's our Storefront. As I said, if you need something that's not here, just telegram me with the requirements, and I will design it for you. It's somewhat sad, but I live for that sort of thing. ;)

A tempting offer, but I'm doing just fine designing hardware for Kotterdam right now. Thanks anyway, though. Perhaps we could collaborate on a project or three.
