City of Irrowskurn, 2300 Orbital Time, Day 140, 79 A.E.[3] The wirbelwind is easy to bolt the guns onto, although all you have are live 20mm rounds. Target practice is done with actual flak versus balloons. You're not currently allowed to use it.

Cpt. Feldman steps out onto the field as the crews familiarize themselves with their tanks.
"Listen up cockroaches!" he bellows.
"You are going to engage in armor-on-armor combat, no-holds-barred. The three chosen squads will start at corners of the training field, and move to neutralize the other squads. Commanders: Report to your starting positions as shown on your maps. If you neglected to grab one on the way out, you may exchange your crew's weekend passes for one."He holds with him an untouched stack of maps from a table that was off to the side, near the pavilion's back exit.
The training field itself is bounded by barbed fence along the sides facing the city. However, the far side of the field terminates in "jungle," which is very uneven terrain scattered with overhangs and partially-eroded mounds of plant growth. New Terra's equivalent of a forest.
You are
SQUAD 3. Scale: 0.5 km per tile.
Fields: The meadows of Irrowskurn are covered in a thick layer of grasses about 1m high, although in places near other plants (trees, swamps) where there is a source of water, the grasses will grow even taller, up to 2m.
Hills: Irrowskurn is surrounded by plains, but on these plains there tends to be a buildup of plant material over time. After centuries, living mounds of wood and vine have built up, allowing lighter vehicles to cross, while heavy vehicles tend to sink.
Trees: New Terra lacks normal trees, but communal plants tend to grow into the shape of a mound. During Spring flooding, these mounds erode away at the base, putting increased pressure on the 'trunk' and causing more roots to grow there, strengthening the base, some growing tall and thin while others grow broad depending on the type of plant. These grow like trees, and can be knocked over by heavy tanks but will block light tanks.
Swamp: At some places, there is a buildup of water that remains after the Spring floods. These places host a thriving ecosystem that lives in the mud. Giant meter-long leeches, carnivorous frogs, and mudrays with deadly toxin are among the local critters you might find here.

[-] On the way to the spawn point, the Hellcat's tracks fall apart. It turns out one of the links was printed hollow and couldn't take the strain.
Mia goes about replacing them, and found a quick way to re-link the tracks in action using a wrench.
[-] The ASU-85 trudges along the hills. The crew smells gasoline after getting close to the spawn point.
