	Sadly for the Fox, evolutions in materiel and doctrine had changed the rules of the game in the meantime; and the hour of the missile carriers was at hand, only worsened by the fact that its 30mm gun, while powerful, was limited to six shots per reload, as it fed not from a belt but from two stripper clips loaded into the weapon. Worse yet, where the CVR(T) could easily be retrofitted/modified to allow for a SAM/ATGM launcher to be carried/equipped, the Fox could not. Hence, it only saw a limited production run that outfitted the British Volunteer's Reserve.

			What to say about this one? It is basically a [[CVRT#Scimitar\|Scimitar]] on wheels: same (shortcomings in) firepower, faster but with slightly less armor. Their Skill is also lower to represent the fact that the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_Own_Yeomanry\| Queen's Own Yeomanry] is a reserve squadron made up of volunteers rather than full-time soldiers.

			Anything said about the Scimitar applies to the Fox as well: should you opt to take them, their 30mm gun is very good at forcing bails on opposing light vehicles and can even threaten a MBT should the Fox manage to flank it.
