Description: The 12th Armored Assault Army is a recently formed group consisting mainly of General Tavlar's Battlegroup 'Enigma' (more on that later) as well as several other supporting armored divisions and mechanized infantry divisions. The insignia is a simple one of the lightning bolt representing the 'storm' of the Army's tactics, often painted unto the hulls of vehicles and displayed on the chestplates of its infantry units. Though it is a short-lived unit it has had an identity carved from the doctrine and philosophy of its commander, Major General Irveric Tavlar. With almost the entirety of its units draped in the characteristic 'Enigma' pattern camouflage it offers an immediate glimpse at the pragmatic approach taken by its general.
The 12th Army isn't one invigorated by zeal for the Empire by any means, far more so charged by duty on the field of battle. Though possessing a great deal of firepower it prioritizes the most lethal threats from the enemy, using it surgically or to strategic benefit rather than dispensing careless and unneeded destruction. Utilizing reconnaissance and forward observation to a great degree. Its fighting men and women are highly disciplined, a token minority of them combat veterans from counter-insurgency operations within Imperial worlds, providing much needed experience to help further train the more green recruits.
COMBAT INFORMATION:
- Unit Size: Large
- Unit Availability: Uncommon
- Unit Experience: Trained
- Combat Function: Armored assault
- Mobile Warfare Doctrine: Utilizing large numbers of mechanized infantry and armored fighting vehicles the 12th Army strikes fast and hard, utilizing its form of highly mobile warfare to encircle and destroy large swathes of enemy units.
- Utility: Forsaking antiquated doctrines and rituals for maximized efficiency. The 12th Army adopts a wholly utilitarian approach to how it equips its men and fights its battles, prioritizing its mission objectives and adapting its tactics to its demands.
- Supply Fatigue: The sheer scale and tactics used by the 12th Army place a great strain on the logistic infrastructure supporting it, almost universally shrinking the time table for its operations and its operational range.
- Clear Skies: An armored spearhead is only as effective as its grip over the air above is, though the 12th Army counters this by often spreading its 'threats' across its formation to minimize the effect of enemy bombing runs, Armored Assault missions go on with severely diminished effect without proper air support.
