Fate Steam Crab

Designed to make war so deadly that it would soon become impossible. The Steam Crab's armored hull is proof against all small arms and most cannon projectiles. There is ample room on its three decks for troops or cannon. Its steam powered pinchers are capable of uprooting trees, or tearing down barricades while its eight steel legs carry it at speeds upwards of 25 miles per hour.

No mere man can stand against this armored conveyance, striding over the battle field like a giant crab. Cavalry or infantry attempting to lay charges under its hull will be met with steaming blasts of high pressure water, so powerful that they can cut a man or horse in two. In the unlikely event that explosive mines or shells should damage the Steam Crab's legs, it can still move with as many as two legs on a side being blown away.

The Steam Crab can easily break through enemy lines and disembark dozens of fully armed troops. The vehicle can wade streams up to 24 feet deep and when necessary it can swim, floating on its boat-like hull, powered by jets of high pressure water, at speeds up to 6 knots.

New vehicles are shipped from the factory daily. Don't let your country fall behind in the race to exploit the mighty power of steam.

The Reviresco paper kit of the Steam Crab measures 9.5 inches long by 8 inches wide (with the legs extended) the hull (exclusive of legs) is 3 inches wide. The vehicle stands roughly 5 inches high, depending on how the legs are adjusted.
