Arming the Centurion
The many configurations of the Centurion are now used by more than half-a-dozen mercenary formations as well as
many national armies and paramilitary formations. Civilian versions also exist, removing the armour plate and
replacing the vision ports with panoramic windows for use as buses and off-road explorer vehicles. Up-armoured
versions are explored, with internal armour panels added within the crew compartment, although this - naturally -
reduces the internal space available.
Nomenclature for the Centurion is delineated by the wheel numbers with any gaps noted where the hull is stretched to
extend it. So the shortest vehicle is the stubby C400 utility carrier, through the stretched 202 four wheeler, C204 six
wheeler, C800 and C404 eight wheelers right up to the 15m long, ten wheeled C4F6. This latter vehicle has a flexible
joint to aid maneuverability.
Many turret options are available from a simple commander hatch with a tri-barrel, various light and heavy support
weapons, through mortar and artillery turrets, calliopes and - on the C4H6 - a huge 20cm artillery turret based on the
turret from the M53 blower artillery piece.
At least nine different outfits are known to use different models of the Centurion family; Bartel’s Armour, the
Bushmasters, Foster’s Mercenaries, Greenwood’s Archers, Guardforce O’Higgins, the Heliodorus Regiment, the Poplar
Regiment, the Sons of Mangala and the Thunderbolt Division.
