Description
The Tokugawa Heavy Tank is a wheeled heavy tank designed by the Draconis Combine.
Vehicle History
The tank was originally designed by the DCMS Procurement Division during the First Succession War. The Tokugawa was mass produced in various factories throughout the Draconis Combine. However, the devastation of the Succession Wars destroyed most of the tanks and its manfacturers. Only a limited production line was continued at the Buda Imperial Vehicles on Luthien.
After the War of 3039, Gunji-no-Kanrei Theodore Kurita contacted the Buda Enterprises on Proserpina to produce the tank in larger numbers. Buda Enterprises first production run of the Tokugawas first appeared in 3046. The first new "modern" version of the Tokugawa first appeared in 3053, where it was deployed along the Clan frontier as well as on Luthien itself.
The "new" Tokugawa first saw action with the 1st Amphigean Light Assault Group on Kilmarnock against a Clan Nova Cat raid. The Tokugawas were used to contain the Nova Cat's Elemental Battle Armor units.[1]
The vehicle saw extensive use during Operation Bulldog in 3059, where it safeguarded Combine worlds from reprisals from the Clan Smoke Jaguars. It was also used in offensive actions against Jaguar units on Outer Volta, and later saw action during the FedCom Civil War as well as the Jihad era in Clan Snow Ravens incursions from Outworlds Alliance. The tank proved to have some difficulties in its ability to deal with fast moving Aerospace Fighters.[2]
