List of Former Equipment of the Tagmatine Armed Forces

Jump to navigation Jump to search

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.

Assault Rifles
AT51A AT34A.png  Tagmatium Assault Rifle 7.7x38mm Aroman 1943 - 1959 The AT51A was one of a series of cheap and simple mass-produced assault rifles used to arm the Tagmatine soldiers towards the end of the Long War. The rifle fired a cartridge jointly developed with Adaptus. It was phased out after the war ended.
AT51B Grossfuss Sturmgewehr.jpg  Tagmatium Assault Rifle 7.7x38mm Aroman 1943 - 1959 The AT51B was one of a series of cheap and simple mass-produced assault rifles used to arm the Tagmatine soldiers towards the end of the Long War. The rifle fired a cartridge jointly developed with Adaptus. It was phased out after the war ended.
AT51G File:Sturmgewehr 45 reproduction.png  Tagmatium Assault Rifle 7.7x38mm Aroman 1943 - 1959 The AT51C was one of a series of cheap and simple mass-produced assault rifles used to arm the Tagmatine soldiers towards the end of the Long War.

TE55 British Assault Rifles MOD 45162602.jpg  Tagmatium Assault Rifle 7x43mm Nika 1947 - 1977 The first gun designated as "Toufeki Efodou" (Anglish: "Assault Rifle"). A bullpup assault rifle developed in the closing years of the Long War, it was chambered in a cartridge jointly developed with Iverica. It saw service as the primary assault rifle of Tagmatium for decades.
TE83 Armenia K-3 rifle.jpg  Tagmatium Assault Rifle 7x43mm Nika 1975 - 2004 The TE83 was developed as a less expensive, more modern update to the TE55. It used more modern materials and elimated the wood of the previous rifle. It was somewhat more crude but gained a reputation for robustness.
Machine Guns
P03 Colt Potato Digger.JPG  Tagmatium Heavy Machine Gun 7.7×56mm Aroman 1895 - 1910 The first automatic machine gun adopted by the Tagmatine military, it saw use by both the army and the navy. Its complex gas-operated lever action had both advantages and disadvantages. It was considered to be obsolete within ten years and replaced by the water-cooled P18.
P18 Vickers Machine Gun YORCM CA78ac.JPG  Tagmatium Medium Machine Gun 7.7×56mm Aroman 1910 - 1968 The P18 was a water-cooled machine gun in service with the Tagmatine Armed Forces. It was a crew-served, tripod-mounted weapon, requiring between six and eight soldiers to man it efficiently. It had a reputation as a reliable and effective weapon, which led to its long service life.
P25 P25.jpg  Tagmatium Heavy Machine Gun 12.7×99mm Aroman 1917 - 1961 A large, water-cooled heavy machine gun, it was utilised as both a crew-served weapon on a wheeled mount (later on a tripod) and as a gun on vehicles. It was often used in a quad-mount on ships as an anti-aircraft gun.
P27 Munster MG13 (dark1) noBG.png  Tagmatium Light Machine Gun 7.7×56mm Aroman 1919 - 1957 The P27 was a light machine gun that was designed to fill the obvious gap in the equipment of the Tagmatine Armed Forces. It was perhaps not the most effective weapon of its type but it served throughout the first half of the 20th Century and beyond. It also used as a co-axial, vehicle and aircraft machine gun.
P37 1671 - Salzburg - Festung Hohensalzburg - Österreichisch leichtes Maschinengewehr.JPG  Tagmatium Light Machine Gun 7.7×56mm Aroman 1929 - 1973 Designed to be a modern replacement for the P27, the P38 never truly replaced the former. With some modification, it went on to become the standard tank and aircraft machine gun until the 1980s. P67 P67.png  Tagmatium Heavy Machine Gun 12.7×99mm Aroman 1959 - 1993 An air-cooled replacement for the aging P25 heavy machine gun, the P67 replaced the older weapon in all uses. It was used by the army, navy and air force in a variety of roles, including anti-air and as a vehicle-mounted weapon.
Submachine Guns
O27 Bergmann MP18.1.JPG  Tagmatium Submachine Gun 11.55×19.3mm Aroman 1919 - 1958 The O27 was the first submachine gun in service with the Tagmatine Armed Forces. It was one of the first submachine guns in service in Europa but it was expensive to produce. Despite that, large numbers were made and it saw service until after the end of the Long War.
O38 Bergmann Mp-35.jpg  Tagmatium Submachine Gun 11.55×19.3mm Aroman 1930 - 1958 The O38 was a replacement for the O27, which was considered to be too expensive and complicated to manufacture. The O38 was little better in this regard but it was still widely produced and saw service after the Long War was over.
O50 File:MP 3008 Sub Machine Gun noBG.png  Tagmatium Submachine Gun 11.55×19.3mm Aroman 1942 - 1961 A drastically simplified weapon, the O50 represented the attempts by the Tagmatine military to simplify its weaponry and scale back production costs. It completely dropped the wooden furniture of previous weapons and went with an all metal construction.
Grenade Launchers
EK52 EK52.jpg  Tagmatium 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 EK71.jpg  Tagmatium 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, T1E1.png  Tagmatium 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, T1E6.png  Tagmatium 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 Aigios.jpeg  Tagmatium 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 Aigaion.jpg  Tagmatium 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 Aigaionios.jpg  Tagmatium 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 MediumMarkDModified.jpg  Tagmatium 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 Termeros Medium Tank.jpg  Tagmatium 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 Baby tank.JPG  Tagmatium 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 Thymotes Medium Tank.jpg  Tagmatium 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 Thrasos Medium Tank.jpeg  Tagmatium 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 Telegonos Medium Tank.jpg  Tagmatium 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 Centurion cfb borden 1.JPG  Tagmatium 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 Prokroustes.jpg  Tagmatium 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 Presbon Heavy Tank.png  Tagmatium 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 T29 Heavy Tank.png  Tagmatium 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 General Tank Gregorios.jpg  Tagmatium 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 General Tank Georgios.jpg  Tagmatium 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.
