The MIM-46 “Mauler” is an American self-propelled anti-aircraft missile system designed by General Dynamics in the late 1950s for the US Army. It is intended to combat low-flying high-performance tactical fighters and short-range ballistic missiles. The system consists of an M113 chassis, carrying nine MIM-46 "Mauler" (Missile) in launch canisters, a tracking and illumination continuous wave radar, and a fire control system. The system is supposed to be highly automated and capable of engaging multiple targets simultaneously, though this part seems to have a host of reliability issues. Because of this, the MIM-46 project has been partially sidelined, though some prototypes of these vehicles have been spotted in Vietnam.

This vehicle is equipped with radar systems, allowing it to see far beyond what the Eyeball Mk. I can, even in adverse weather conditions or complete darkness.
EFFECT:
This vehicle is equipped with long-range radar, allowing it to detect enemy units far beyond Extreme Range. However, that is far from its only use:
- If the radar system is marked as (Missile Guidance), it can be used to target them with a Smart Munition.

Operation REFORGER - American Armour (CW)
American forces must always be ready to defend Europe from a renewed Soviet invasion. Operation REFORGER is an American contingency plan to rapidly displace a number of armoured divisions in this continent using heavy equipment already stockpiled across Europe, only airlifting tank crews from America. Although the Soviets are expected to use massed fires and manoeuvre to break NATO's back, the tanks must hold at any cost and make time for reinforcements.
EFFECT:
If this unit did not move on its last Turn, and has not moved in this Turn, add an Easy DM to all of its hit rolls.
