Following several years of fighting in [[Audonia]], it became fully evident that tracked tanks such as the SAV-5 and SAV-6 were inappropriate for service and that lighter, wheel-based vehicles were necessary. The [[Aullen Field Works]] company was contracted by Burgundie with consent from the [[Government of Urcea]] to design an appropriate vehicle. Based on the lessons and design features of the SAV-6, such as the effectiveness of sloped armor, the AmP 38 was designed with high speed and off-road reliability in mind. Following satisfactory testing, the AmP 38 entered production and was shipped for use in Audonia, where it would serve for the remainder of the war. | ||
