And much more......

XM-23:This reliable, accurate, state-of-the-art assualt rifle is the weapon of choice for Red Tide soldiers. It comes with a laser scope for aiming and has 3 modes(single shot, burst, and automatic). Unfortuanantly it cannot be equipped with a grenade launcher. Its effective range is 800 meters

Missile Defender 1: This is a State of the Art 135mm Antitank Rocket launcher which is highly effective agianst ALMOST any tanks. It can puncture through 2 FEET of armor and has a effective range of 700 meters.

Harador could sell munitions for your front line troops and field artillery for a regular amount of money per week.

If your gonna buy weapons your gonna need ammo and supplies to be able to use them!

Don't forget the type of terrain you'll be fighting on, and the type of fighting you plan to engage in, before buying stuff.

If your nation's terrain is very broken, you might want to look into something other than tanks. If it is grassland, on the other hand, tanks would be a good choice. Also, a good number of systems won't function very well within urban areas.

Likewise, centain vehicles and systems function better on the offensive, while others are better on the defensive.

Also, remember that an inferior force fighting on its home soil can beat a superior force if it is smart and resourceful. The Russians managed to hold off Hitler's better-equipped and better-trained armies at Stalingrad at least in part due to their better use of terrain and better knowledge of the area. You don't need an expensive monstrocity to kill off an Abrams if a well-placed mine or satchel will do the trick just as well.
