| Designer Notes |
| The versatility of the Hunter has seen it pressed into a wide variety of combat and combat engineering roles. The Hunter Minelayer is one such example. First developed during the final cycle of the devastating St. Vincent's War (and later upgraded with the Hunter Mark II program), the Minelayer is designed to rapidly lay a mine field, usually to be used against enemy Gear units. Tracked minelaying vehicles can usually cary a great deal more mines than the Hunter Minelayer, but its walker system often allows it access to areas unattainable by MLVs based on the chassis of a light tank. In these types of terrain, Hunter Minelayers are often more effective than infantrymen. One or more Minelayers can often be found in the support company of a Northern Gear regiment, while more are usually tied to a brigade's engineering regiment. Wheeled and tracked minelaying vehicles remain far more common in non-Gear units, where their increased laying speed and varying capacity is deemed more valuable than walker design. |
