Overview: Believed to be the single most produced military vehicle of all time, the Light Infantry Combat Vehicle is a standard infantry transport first produced in 2575. Licensed for production on thousands of worlds, it was copied, re-licensed and re-copied.
Capabilities: The LICV fits into the "battlefield taxi" concept of getting troops close to the fighting area and provide some measure of support if required, without getting stuck into protracted engagements.
The B-610 is one of the most recent versions still produced by the Original Manufacturer, Ares Technologies.
The LICV has a pentagonal cross-section, giving good ballistic protection, while the v-shaped lower hull and high ride is resistant to mines and IED's.
The multifuel engine gives it exellent autonomy and speed up to 96 kph on roads.
The finish is somewhat spartan, but adequate for its mission type. The driver has good visibility through periscopes and external sensors and cameras, while the commander controls the turret. A full communications set and battlefield integration comes as standard, allowing the LICV to plug into GPS, battlefield data sharing and a spotting laser allows the LICV to designate targets quickly and effectively.
The armament is designed to give the infantry adequate support with a machinegun, backed up by a pair of rocket launchers that can damage or even cripple most light targets.
The armour is designed to survive a single frontal AC/20 hit and gauss rifle hits from the side.
The LICV is not designed to be fully amphibious, but it can cross rivers and calm waters thanks to some floatation aids built into the hull.
The B-610 is one of the most recent versions still produced by the Original Manufacturer, Ares Technologies.
Battle History: The LICV has seen service in hundreds of thousands of engagements in its five-hundred year history. It is believed that little over ten million LICV have been produced about a quarter of which are still in service today and factories across known space still churn them out daily.
Deployment: Though produced by the Terran Hegemony, the LICV was never officially adopted by the SLDF, though some vehicles were captured from enemy forces and put into limited service, often for garrison and security duties.
By 3140 the LICV is found across the Inner Sphere, the periphery and even Clan space, where several Clans use either captured or even produce their own version.
Variants: Hundreds of variants are known to exist, command, ambulance, observation, recon, battlefield extraction, mortar carrier, SWAT vehicle, ICV, Mobile HQ, VIP high security transport, Riot control, fire-fighting, exploration and infiltration variants have been made at some point or another.
Notable 'Mechs & MechWarriors: "Topenga" This vehicle was modified into a tank destroyer in the 3050's when the Chaos March was a conflict zone. The crew modified the vehicle to carry an autocannon/2 installed inside the infantry bay, sticking out from the front. Using hit and run tactics they were able to snipe away at enemy targets and wreaking havoc against soft-skinned targets. Topenga is known to have survived at least until 3070, after which the vehicle was presumed destroyed.
"Old Blood and Guts" Said to be the oldest LICV still in service it has been rebuilt so many times that very few original parts still remain, yet this LICV still soldiers on with the Styk planetary guard.

Why use a CASE? If your get a crit that will set off the MG ammo your armor is gone anyways and there is little of the tank left to worry about.
Why argue if the glass is half full or half empty, when you know someone is going to knock it over and spill it anyways.
I was a Major *pain* before
But I got a promotion.
I am now a General *pain*
Yay for promotions!!!

I added it to protect the infantry inside. Just add another half ton of armour if you prefer.
