Designer Notes
Mobility is the key to desert warfare and maneuver groups need to be able to coordinate their efforts in order to be effective. Most current command vehicles are based either on ground vehicles (which have speed but lack mobility) or Gears (which lack the power to carry a significant amount of C3 equipment, and can only carry one overworked man), neither of which are fully effective. This led to the development of command striders, which filled in nicely when neither ground vehicles nor Gears were fully up to the task. The Command NAga is probabaly the best known Southern command strider. Like its name indicates, it is based on the chassis of the popular Naga strider and shares up to 85% of its components with it. The field commander normally takes the position of the gunner while the rear seat is occupied by the pilot. The commander's station features multiple tactical screen and communication control equipment, enabling him to take the battlefield in at a glance. Field studies have shown that electronic warfare signals can be transmitted through the multiple antenna areas of the strider, making the Command Naga marginally effective for makeshift jamming. Its main strength, however, is its ability to penetrate heavy jamming fields so that the targeting systems of the commander provide the signal by which the rest of the group will guide their missiles along.
