A Tank Commander rides to battle in the cupola of a mighty Leman Russ battle tank. These grizzled men are virtually one with their machine, possessing an implicit knowledge of armoured warfare in all its forms. The average Tank Commander is a steely eyed ace, heading up a crew of the very best their regiment has to offer.
