	The Flame Tank is one of the more iconic units in AQMF and oh boy is it good on the table top. With the turret you can engage Martians in every direction so you don't have to worry about whether you have the right facing to start purging the Xenos in flame. Due to the unique nature of the Flame Gun, you get the FLAMEGUN special rule when firing it. When you make an attack with the flame gun roll a D10 and divide by two and round up to the nearest whole number. The result is how many attacks you can make for this shooting step. Oh, it also gets +3 power and ignore cover ~~saves~~, Hellfire indeed. The only limiting factor is a somewhat short range of 15 inches.

			As for defenses the flame tank has a defense of 4 and an armor rating of 10. While you will take hits more than 50% of the time its going to take a bit to put you down. However once a heat ray does penetrate your armor you must immediately roll a D10. On the result of a 10 the tanks containing the volatile flamer fuel explode, tearing the Flame tank apart and turning everything within 6 inches in a raging inferno. All units within 6 inches of the flame tank automatically take D5 hits with the same stats of the Flame gun, so +3 power, yikes. So you might want to consider not stacking up your units near the Flame Tank (not that you should have in the first place, given the Martians Sweep rules).

			The Mk IV Flame Tank will cost you 180 Points to add to your US force.

Of course the MK IV platform has proved to be very suitable for experimental weapons. The most iconic of which is the awesome "Flame tank". Conceived of as a Human equivalent to the Heat Rays of the invaders, the flame tank mounts a massive weapon which has been dubbed by the troops as the flame cannon. The flame cannon spews an inferno that burns at such an intensity that even Tripods can be roasted. The sponson guns have to be removed to make room for great tanks of fuel, but the towering vehicle has such a presence on the battlefield that it more than makes up for the drop in firepower.
