Medium tanks are a cut above light tanks in armour and armament, but are only somewhat faster than a cavalryman. Their specialty is acting as a less fragile version of an anti-tank gun.

  • Rather slow unit, with good armour and armament, capable of providing a shock force.
  • Has an armour-piercing attack, so attacking them is not an ideal thing to do.

Cruiser tanks are tanks which have the capability of attacking while moving.
