History[edit]
Smith, together with Stanislov Chernkov and Johann Eggar, formed an armor crew in an advanced striker unit of an armored regiment attached to the Third Royal Guards.
Together were they reputed to have survived more destroyed vehicles than any other know group - Walking away from the death of over thirty-five combat vehicles. These vehicles included at least twenty-two Saladins, eight Hetzers, three Manticores, and one Behemoth.
While in other crews this might have been attributed to incompetence or bad luck, Smith's crew won numerous awards for their skill and willingness to accept extremely dangerous missions. The last Saladin they were known to have lost, was destroyed after defeating a Lance of Panthers and dueling a Grand Dragon to mutual destruction.[1][2]
Vehicle[edit]
