The Cobra is Bauhaus' standard model hovertank. Its hovering abilities make it ideal for storming over minefields and
difficult ground, and it is often used when speed is needed as much as strength. Lightning raids and rapid reinforcement form
the standard repertoire of the Cobra, although it also sees many more conventional armored roles.
The Cobra is usually deployed as an excort to a unit of infantry or as part of a squad of several Cobras. As an excort it
serves as a safeguard against attack by enemy armor. A single Cobra us capable of absobring most infantry baced firepower, and
it is only weapons of autocannon class or stronger thet begin to present a danger to it. The usual armament of the cobra causes
great danger to infantry but is not so deadly to other armored vehicles, so the Cobra is typically deployed against enemy infantry.

Special Rules
- Reliability. Like all Bauhaus equipment, the Cobra is not subject to Malfunction or misfire. When a crew member fumbles, he only loses the action he fumbled on, not his remaining actions.
- If two or more Cobras are within command distance (12") of each other, they may be activated as a squad.
WEAPONS: The cobra is equipped with a turret mounted Bauforce Autocannon and four MG-80 heavy machine guns. Draw line of sight and range from each of the Cobra's weapons individually. The Bauforce Autocannon is based on the 60mm cannons on the Grizzly and operates on similar principles. Its stats are as follows:

FIRING ARC: The front mounted MG-80 is fixed in position and has a fire arc of 45 degrees. Each of the others is ball mounted and can fire at an angle of 180 degrees from there they are mounted. The Bauforce Autocannon can rotate 360 degrees and thus can fire in any direction.
CREW: The Cobra requires a crew of four Dragoons. A driver who is responsible for moving the vehicle, as well as firing the front mounted heavy machine gun, a turret gunner,a side gunner: who is responsible for each of the HMG mounted on the Cobra's sides, and a rear gunner.
Structure: The Cobra is purchased as an individual vehicle. The crew of four Dragoons is purchased seperately. They are armed with MP-105 Handguns. The Cobra does not count against the number of individuals or squads you may have in your army.
