			Like the American's [[M247_Sergeant_York\|Sergeant York]], the Chieftan Marksman is a fictional takeoff of a real-world weapon system. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marksman_anti-aircraft_system Marksman Anti-Aircraft System] was a project developed by Marconi to sell to the British Army, or whoever else wanted a knockoff Gepard turret to mount on spare tank hulls. Unlike the Sergeant York however, the Marksman was never purchased by the British, and was only ever sold to the Finns, who mounted it on [[T55AM2\|T-55s]] until the 2010s, when they swapped them onto the now-venerable [[Leopard 2\|Leopard 2]] instead.

			Presumably, the escalating tensions in the Team Yankee-verse led the British Army to reconsider, and start mounting them on old Chieftans as they were being retired from frontline service.

The lack of HEAT also means they can scare tanks from the side.

At 6 points for 3 tanks, there's no reason you shouldn't take a battery of these monsters.
