歷史資料：
???? 明明還在不久之前，蘇聯(lián)紅軍還有無數(shù)坦克、無敵空軍和無窮步兵，前所未有的威武雄壯，似乎就連非蘇聯(lián)人都認為紅軍銳不可當?？尚袢盏蹏钠嬉u重創(chuàng)了這支盛極一時的軍隊，盟軍各國得以見縫插針，取得決定性勝利，擊敗自己的宿敵。然而，多虧數(shù)名未被革職的官員和他們優(yōu)秀的經(jīng)典蘇式實用主義思想，紅軍并未就此消亡。蘇聯(lián)否認了紅軍再武裝的可能，但逐漸顯山露水的新型戰(zhàn)備力量似乎與政府承諾相悖。以實例來說，近期新展出的載具，以粉碎者之名為人所知，蘇聯(lián)向民眾解釋，這不過是一種強勁的壓路機罷了，僅僅用于鋪平道路，清理數(shù)十座聯(lián)盟城市內(nèi)的斷壁殘垣。如果是這樣的話，那為什么粉碎者會有軍用級別的護甲和顯然有安全隱患的最高速度呢？而粉碎者的制造方又為什么與負責生產(chǎn)的紅軍存在直接聯(lián)系呢？

????
???? 這些問題令人疑惑，不過粉碎者為時不長的歷史倒也印證了政府稱其沒有危險的聲明。盟軍在列寧格勒審判蘇聯(lián)領導人時，聯(lián)盟的主要城市都已遍布載具殘骸和爆炸彈坑，放眼望去一片狼藉。清理過程預計要花費大量的時間、精力與金錢。如能早日重建蘇聯(lián)的城市與街道，蘇聯(lián)人民也就能早日重拾自尊，回歸正常生活。為此，一家位于格魯吉亞的建設公司找到解決難題的辦法，那就是升級旗下之前用于壓瀝青的整個壓路機車隊，將它們改造成清理街道用的超級機器，樣子還與蘇聯(lián)標志性的天啟坦克有些許相似。改造后的壓路機滾筒堅實且布滿尖刺，同時載具引擎的馬力也有所加強，足以推動任何物體。隨后，還為壓路機裝備了從報廢礦車上回收的浮筒，能以前所未有的速度往水里推入垃圾。最終，這款新型機器成了人們口口相傳的粉碎者，盡管這款載具號稱無害，但首次的投入使用便引發(fā)了一場災難。

????
???? 目擊者對事故的描述雜七雜八，但有一點是相同的，那就是粉碎者原型機在進行作業(yè)，向市內(nèi)水庫傾倒鐵錘坦克殘骸時，因一名駕駛員不熟悉強力引擎，造成嚴重事故，致8死37傷，財產(chǎn)損失逾數(shù)百萬盧布?？肆_沃瓦建設公司就此關停，不過粉碎者這個產(chǎn)品卻保留了下來，殘存的蘇聯(lián)軍方好奇粉碎者是如何能在這么短的時間內(nèi)造成這樣大的破壞，為此，它們征用了全部的原型機，并馬上著手制造更多的粉碎者。蘇聯(lián)軍方如此行動之時，仍在否認將粉碎者用于戰(zhàn)場的可能性。
???? 無論如何，粉碎者確為蘇聯(lián)經(jīng)濟創(chuàng)造了大量的就業(yè)崗位，也確為清理街道作出了卓越貢獻。經(jīng)驗老道的工人會從載具殘骸里搶救出還能用的部件，基于開放式規(guī)格說明打造出一臺新粉碎者。沒啥經(jīng)驗的工人則被安排去實地作業(yè)，粉碎者還是相當好駕馭的（這玩意比裝了一堆武器的軍用載具好操作多了）。粉碎者仍繼續(xù)清理街道上的垃圾，通常是傾倒進蘇聯(lián)境內(nèi)及海濱的未開放水域?，F(xiàn)在，包括海參崴和基輔在內(nèi)，許多蘇聯(lián)城市看起來就好像未經(jīng)戰(zhàn)亂一樣，必須得說，這里面有粉碎者的一份功勞。但粉碎者的潛在危險無可否認，這意味著后續(xù)使用這款載具必須接受盟軍軍方的嚴密監(jiān)視。

戰(zhàn)場筆記：?通過戰(zhàn)地偵察，已獲悉粉碎者至少具有以下幾個特征：

• 咬碎萬物——粉碎者雖沒有常規(guī)武器，但它卻能伺機撕碎任何地面目標。一般說來粉碎者嚼碎目標，吐出渣子所需要的的時間與目標大小成正比。載具一旦遭受粉碎者攻擊，里面乘員就插翅也難飛了。

• 渦輪加速——通常情況下，粉碎者并不是蘇聯(lián)紅軍中移動最快的單位，但啟用一套強勁的渦輪加速器后就不一樣了。由于粉碎者的散熱問題，加速系統(tǒng)并不能無限制地一直啟用。

• 入水亦可——粉碎者屬實是一臺拼湊起來的機器，上面有從蘇聯(lián)礦車那兒拆來的一些部件，賦予了這個龐然大物兩棲作戰(zhàn)之能力。而這點恐怕是粉碎者設計里最有目的性的部分了。蘇聯(lián)很清楚，在交火水域內(nèi)，他們需要一種重型裝甲載具來為后續(xù)軍隊開路。

• 轉(zhuǎn)向難題——雖然粉碎者移動得比主戰(zhàn)坦克更快，可因軸距問題，不能像后者那樣流暢轉(zhuǎn)向。因而一些小型單位有時能以計取勝，躲避粉碎者的滾滾研磨輪。對此，蘇聯(lián)戰(zhàn)略家給出的解決辦法是派遣多臺粉碎者并排行駛，不留活路。

history

Not so very long ago, it seemed as though everyone, not just the Soviets, believed the Soviet Union's Red Army to be unstoppable. Countless battle Tanks, overwhelming air power, and legions of infantry comprised the largest and most powerful military force ever assembled. This mighty army suffered terrible losses to the Empire of the Rising Sun's surprise attack. This blow was devastating; the Allied Nations swept in and finally achieved a decisive victory against their old rival. Nevertheless, the Red Army survives, thanks to the leadership of certain surviving officers and some good old fashioned Soviet pragmatism. The Union denies allegations that the Red Army is attempting to rearm, but emerging details of new combat-ready forces seem to contradict those claims. For example, the Soviet Union would have you believe that its recently-unveiled vehicle, best known as the Grinder, is nothing more than an industrial-strength road roller built to smooth out pavement and clear wreckage in the Union's dozens of ruined cities. If this were true, why would the Grinder have military-grade armor and decidedly unsafe top speeds? And why would manufacturers directly linked to the Red Army be responsible for the Grinder's manufacturing?

?

?

Nothing expresses the Red Army's directness, resourcefulness, and resolve quite like the Grinder.

?

?

These are troubling questions, but the brief history of the Grinder does corroborate the Union's claims of its innocuous nature. By the time the Union's leaders were brought to justice at Leningrad, the Union had more than enough scrap metal to call its own, as major cities stood lined with vehicle husks and blast craters. The process of literally cleaning up the streets was going to be long, difficult, and expensive. One Georgia-based construction company sought to make the most of this, on the assumption that the sooner the Union's cities and streets could be restored, the sooner the Soviet people could regain their pride and return to a normal way of life. The company's solution was to update its entire fleet of road rollers, once used for laying down asphalt, into street-sweeping super machines that had a resemblance to the iconic Apocalypse Tank. They were fitted with toothy, heavy-duty drums and upgraded with powerful engines that could push through anything. The machines were then retrofitted with pontoons from destroyed ore collectors, which would allow the roller vehicles to shove all the Union's trash and debris out into the water in record time. The result was nick-named the Grinder, and in spite of the supposedly benign nature of the thing, initial attempts to make use of it had catastrophic consequences.

?

?

Grinders more than make up for their lack of conventional weapons with raw toughness and speed.

?

?

Although eye-witness accounts vary, the bottom line is that the operator of one of the Grinder prototypes, unaccustomed to the vehicle's overhauled engine, somehow caused eight deaths, 37 injuries, and several million rubles' worth of additional property damage while attempting to dump several wrecked Hammer Tanks into the city's reservoir. This led to the shuttering of the Grinder's manufacturer, though the Grinder itself was saved: Remnant Soviet military forces must have taken an interest in how much destruction it caused in such a short amount of time, as they requisitioned all the prototypes and soon began piecing more of them together... all while denying any intentions of using the vehicles in possible wartime scenarios.

?

In any event, the Grinder has created hundreds of thousands of jobs in the Soviet economy, and it truly has helped clean up the streets. Skilled laborers first take the salvaged parts from destroyed vehicles to help cobble together new Grinders based on an open-ended specification. Then, less-skilled laborers are selected to operate the vehicles, which are quite simple to use (especially in comparison to military vehicles, with all their complex weapons systems). Grinders proceed to scrape away remaining junk, often into unused bodies of water within Soviet borders or along the coast. Even now, numerous Soviet cities, including Vladivostok and Kiev, almost look as though war never darkened their streets. The Grinder is partly to thank for this, to be sure. However, the undeniably dangerous nature of the vehicle dictates that its continued use must be closely watched by Allied military counsel.

notes

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Grinder:

?

? Chews through anything -- Though lacking conventional weapons, the Grinder can tear through any surface targets in due time. In general, the bigger the target, the longer it takes for the Grinder to chew it up and spit it out. Victims of the Grinder are helplessly trapped in place as the vehicle does its work.

?

?

? Turbo-charged -- Normally the Grinder isn't the quickest vehicle in the Red Army. To address this, an industrial-strength turbocharger substantially increases top speeds. Note that the turbo speeds cannot be sustained indefinitely due to the Grinder's inability to displace all the heat efficiently.

?

?

? In hot water -- True to its cobbled-together nature, the Grinder incorporates spare parts from Soviet ore collectors, lending it amphibious capability in spite of its massive girth. This is perhaps the least accidental aspect of the Grinder's design: The Soviets knew they needed a heavily-armored combat vehicle that could breach out into contested waters and clear a path for expansion forces.

?

?

? A turn for the worse -- Although the Grinder is quicker than a battle Tank, it cannot turn as easily because of its wheelbase. This means smaller enemies can sometimes outmaneuver it to avoid getting torn to shreds. The solution, say Soviet strategists, is to attack with multiple Grinders driving side-by-side.
