It has rules for WW2 machinery in it, and I think it's awesome. It's free to download on DriveThruRPG.

I could easily see these as fun Periphery "mechanization" units for infantry.

Yeah, it was released a few years ago as an April Fool's Day publication, so it - like the other April Fool's Day bits (such as Welcome to Nebula California) are free to download.

I got it a few years ago, and actually made some in-campaign plans for it. One of the original factions I have has mastered the art of reverse-engineering, and so it's entirely plausible that they'd have successfully reverse-engineered a surviving Tiger tank for mass-production.

They don't have a lot of armor, but if you allow for the "iron sights" rule you've got something that can do 8 points of damage a turn at ranges that normally only artillery weapons can reach.

Yeah it seems like a lot of fun. I'm working on a new faction called the Clearwater Republic - western themed, cowboys cooperating with a lost colony that went native fighting against a mercantilist corporatist power in the Deep Periphery. They don't have much industry, so I'm thinking tanks like these would be perfect for them!
