EPTStar Tale: Ground Wars is the name given to the strategy game parts of the overall Star Tale project.
This entry is about the Units that you can choose from to create your army.
Its not these: https://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/534100-how-to-fix-zerg-using-word-diarrhea (ninazerg)
The list below contains examples of units from various factions. Not all factions can pick from all of these Units, and not all Units are listed.
Vehicles are chassis, you have to add guns and equipment to them, so the role of the vehicle is variable. For example the role of the Light Tank can vary widely from an APC to Artillery.

1 Large Tank = 96 troops or 2 Main Battle Tanks
