==Overview:==
The Ice Bolt was Harris Armaments first attempt at building a battlemech. In
2992 the CEO of the company felt that in order to bring more money and to make
a stonger name for the company that they should build a mech.

His theory was that their years of building armored fighting vehicles and
anti-mech field guns would give them an edge when it came to building a mech.


So he sent a memo out to the design staff in the R&D section to build a mech
that was cost effective and able to with stand anything thrown at it and it
must not be heavier then 50 tons, (this was maximum AFV weight of the main
battle tank then in production by the company).

The head of the R&D staff, a one doctor John Glam, took his boss literial at
his word, so Doctor Glam took the Amatron medium battle tank and made into a
battlemech.

The end results was a heavily armed, average speed, well armored city defender
of the medium mech class. In other words nothing really speical. But with it's
very low price of 3.3 million it was just cheap enough to impress the shaky
government of the Vondor Imperium and the member states of the same to buy in
droves for their militas and peripherial border planets.

Also many other companies that need a strong sercurity force to protect their
factories and such from raiders also bought the Ice Bolt..
