Overview:
The PMZ-7 "?mia?y" is perhaps the best representation of Polanian doctrine; lightly armored
but equipped with a powerful anti-mech rifle and able to move swiftly. A revolutionary
design at the outbreak of the Great War, it remains competitive years later and even the
oldest models have been kept in service. It has been especially effective when deployed
alongside cavalry divisions, supporting Polanian mounted infantry as a sort of modern
iteration of the famed "Winged Hussars."
Capabilities:
In a world of mechs, this pride of Polanian engineering is the one that most resembles its
creators by having roughly human proportions. Like the PZM-9 "Straznik," it has a
cylindrical torso but with a taller and more narrow upper body, longer legs and a pair of
arms. The left arm even has a "hand" which is used to cycle and stabilize the weapon or to
grab objects. Its main engine is housed in the back with two smokestacks clearly visible,
and on the hull is mounted a search light for night operations.
A long stride and design built for running give the ?mia?y incredible speed, making it the
fastest unit in the Polanian arsenal as well as the only mech that can outrun infantry.
Excellent for reconnaissance and raiding, it is able to easily attack and then run off to
reposition and attack again. Its weapon has good range, able to deal heavy damage to even
medium-armored units before they can fire back, particular if it can get behind the enemy.
Its speed also makes it good for hunting down isolated, weakened, or fleeing units, as well
as outflanking entrenched guns.
Like the Stra?nik (although a bit tougher) the ?mia?y suffers from light armor and will
generally lose in a one-on-one fight with most mechs and falls to anti-mech units like field
guns fairly quickly. While strong, its overall damage over time is low as its rifle fires
slowly. Thus this unit works good in packs carrying out hit-and-run attacks, raids, and
recon ahead of the main force. It also works well with heavier units and infantry to guard
the flanks. When used in large groups of five or more, they can be a deadly force, able to
pick apart even heavy mechs if they catch one by itself. Countering a wolfpack of ?mia?y's
can be difficult, but when they are in packs it is best to deal with them using groups of
the Sd. KS 78 "Isegrim" or SHM-86 "Kolokol", which (while not as fast) can keep pace with
the ?mia?y's and beat them in straight-up fights with equal numbers.
