This is a list of former equipment of the Armed Forces of Tagmatium. It includes everything from small arms to crew-served weapons to armoured vehicles, as well as aircraft and ships. This pages provides a brief overview of the weapons, images and information such as when they entered service, weapon calibres and additional notes.
For designations, vehicles receive a designation based on the vehicle classs and a name based on historical, religious or mythological figures. For example, the Medium Tank Mark V Thrasos is the fifth tank of the designation of "Medium Tank" and the name "Thrasos" is a figure from Laimiaic mythology. It is usually referred to as just the "Thrasos" by Tagmatines outside of formal settings. On this page, the designation will be given in Anglish. A ship would receive a class name, usually that of the lead ship, or the class is named for a theme.
Small arms and crew-served weapons are named for their type, with the last two digits being the last two numbers in the year that they were issued. As an example, the TE57 assault rifle's first two letters are from the acronym for "assault rifle" in Laimiaic ("Toufeki Efodou") and the two digits for EK7455, which is the year AD1947 in the Aroman Calendar.
For a list of current equipment, see here.

Grenade Launchers | |||||||
EK52 | ![]() |
![]() |
Automatic Grenade Launcher | 40x46mm | 1944 - 1965 | The EK52 was a hand-cranked automatic, belt-fed grenade launcher developed to be cheap and simple to manufacture with a minimum of moving parts. It was a crew-served, tripod-mounted weapon made to give infantry units a powerful direct fire weapon that was lighter than previous infantry guns and more flexible than light mortars. It was also mounted on a range of vehicles. | |
EK71 | ![]() |
![]() |
Automatic Grenade Launcher | 40x53mm | 1963 - 1995 | The EK71 was a blow-forward replacement for the hand-cranked EK52, which was considered to be woefully obsolete by the 1960s. A higher velocity round was also developed for this weapon. It saw service as both a crew-served, tripod mounted weapon and as a vehicle-mounted weapon system. |
Tanks
Name | Image | Origin | Type | In Service | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Light Tanks | ||||||
Light Tank Mark I Aktoros | ![]() |
![]() |
Light Tank | 1921 - 1925 | The first Tagmatine light tank. It was small and agile but not considered to be as worthwhile when compared to the cavalry units that still existed. It was first issued to units in 1921. Armed with a short 40mm cannon and a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun. | |
Light Tank Mark II Aktaion | ![]() |
![]() |
Light Tank | 1924 - 1927 | The was manfucatured in 1923 and served alongside the Thersander. It equipped the light units of the armoured divisions and in larger numbers than Medium Mark I Thersander, as it proved to be a much more versatile tank. Armed with a short 40mm cannon and a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun. | |
Light Tank Mark III Aigios | ![]() |
![]() |
Light Tank | 1926 - 1934 | The light tank that was issued to Tagmatine light cavalry units at the start of the Long War in 1932. It proved to be underarmed but had to persist in its role due to the fact that there was no vehicle to replace it for several years. Armed with a turret-mounted 12.7mm heavy machine gun, a turret-front mounted 7.7mm machine gun and a 7.7mm hull machine gun. | |
Light Tank Mark IV Aigaion | ![]() |
![]() |
Light Tank | 1934 - 1943 | The successor to the Aigios, having been accepted into service in 1937. Its gun meant that it could tackle more roles as a light tank and its more powerful engine meant that it could still speed away. Its crew were often tempted to engage in armour duels, which resulted in higher casualties. Armed with a 40mm cannon, a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun and a 7.7mm hull machine gun. | |
Light Tank Mark V Aigaionios | ![]() |
![]() |
Light Tank | 1942 - 1958 | The Aigaionos was able to succeed where the Mark IV was not. Although it was able to fulfil the same role, it was rapidly outpaced by the advancement in armour. Nonetheless, it was able to fill a niche that meant that it was the longest serving tank in its role in the Long War, from 1942 to the end of the conflict. Armed with a 40mm cannon and a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun. | |
Medium Tanks | ||||||
Medium Tank Mark I Theristes | ![]() |
![]() |
Medium Tank | 1920 - 1923 | The first Tagmatine tank. It astounded all those that it was deployed against but it was rapidly recognised as tactically inflexible. First issued to Klibanoforoi units in 1920. Armed with four 7.7mm machine guns on the faces of the superstructure. | |
Medium Tank Mark II Thersandros | ![]() |
![]() |
Medium Tank | 1923 - 1928 | Tagmatine medium tank at the start of the Long War in 1932. First issued to armoured units in 1929. Armed with a short 57mm gun, a 7.7mm machine gun in a smaller turret and a hull-mounted 7.7mm machine gun. | |
Medium Tank Mark III Termeros | ![]() |
Medium Tank | 1928 - 1937 | The second generation of Tagmatine tank and it saw much more widespread issue, seeing service with not just Klibanoforoi units but Palationoi units as well. Armed with a 40mm cannon, a turret-front mounted 7.7mm machine gun and two side mounted 7.7mm machine guns. | ||
Medium Tank Mark IV Thymotes | ![]() |
![]() |
Medium Tank | 1934 - 1943 | Served during the Long War, starting in 1935. Armed with a 40mm gun, a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun, two fixed hull mounted 7.7mm machine guns and four 7.7mm machine guns at the corners of the superstructure. | |
Medium Tank Mark V Thrasos | ![]() |
![]() |
Medium Tank | 1941 - 1956 | An evolution of the the Thymotes. It served during the Long War, starting in 1941 and remained in service beyond the Long War. It was the most common tank of the Tagmatine Armed Forces, with numerous marks, upgrades and specialist vehicles manufactured. Armed with a 75mm gun, a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun and a 7.7mm hull machine gun. | |
Medium Tank Mark VI Telegonos | ![]() |
![]() |
Medium Tank | 1949 - 1956 | Served during the Long War, starting in 1949. It was never as common as the Mark V and it was replaced by the Mark VII Medium Tank, Tityos, fairly quickly. It has been immortalised by being the tank used during Leon's Coup. Armed with a long 75mm gun, a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun and a hull-mounted 7.7mm machine gun. | |
Medium Tank Mark VII Tityos | ![]() |
Medium Tank | 1955 - 1986 | Served during the last years of the Long War, debuting in 1955. It was later classed as the third of the General Tanks, after a reorganisation of how Tagmatine tanks were classed and the battlefield role of the Tityos. Armed with a 90mm cannon and a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun, although the armament was later upgraded. Later re-designated as General Tank Mark III Tityos. | ||
Heavy Tanks | ||||||
Heavy Tank Mark I Prokroustes | ![]() |
![]() |
Heavy Tank | 1942 - 1947 | The Prokroustes was a heavy tank based off of the Thrasos. It first saw service in 1942, before it was realised that medium tanks could fulfil the same role adequately. It outfitted Klibanoforoi units. Armed with a 75mm cannon, a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun and a hull-mounted 12.7mm heavy machine gun. | |
Heavy Tank Mark II Presbon | ![]() |
![]() |
Heavy Tank | 1948 - 1955 | The Presbon was a heavy tank. Although it was realised that medium tanks could perform in the assault role, at times there was a need for a heavy tank. Issued to Klibanoforoi units. Armed with a 90mm cannon gun and a co-axial 12.7mm machine gun. | |
Heavy Tank Mark III Promedron | ![]() |
![]() |
Heavy Tank | 1953 - 1975 | The Promedron was a super-heavy tank that was issued to Klibanoforoi units. It was armed with a 128mm cannon and two co-axial 12.7mm heavy machine guns. | |
General Tanks | ||||||
General Tank Mark I Gregorios | ![]() |
![]() |
Universal Tank | 1937 - 1941 | First issued to Horse Archer units in 1937. An abortive attempt to make a tank capable of all battlefield roles. There was an inability to balanace armour, speed and firepower which meant it was relegated to support roles alongside the Thymotes after 1938. Armed with a 40mm cannon, a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun and a 7.7mm hull machine gun. | |
General Tank Mark II Georgios | ![]() |
![]() |
Universal Tank | 1942 - 1957 | The Gregorios was considered something of a failure due to its lack of speed and armament. It was replaced by 1942 by the Georgios, with the same 75mm gun as the Thrasos. Quickly, it was realised that splitting the roles was unnecessary. Georgios came to find a role as a "heavy" tank within light tank formations and was popular within its role but was never the generalist tank that it was envisioned to be. Armed with a 75mm cannon, a co-axial 7.7mm machine gun and a 7.7mm hull machine gun. |
