Big Bang Ricochet 014: Britain's AT105 Saxon APC

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In the early 1980's, as the conventional arms race between NATO and the Warsaw Pact escalated, the British Ministry of Defense saw a need for a new troop transport to completely mechanize the army's infantry. While the infantry attached to armored divisions got the Warrior IFV, the infantry attached to infantry divisions received the AT105 Saxon.

The Saxon is one of the less pretty armored vehicles the world has created thus far, looking very much like a box on wheels. This shape provides a two-fold purpose of providing the drive train and powerpack as much protection as the passengers, and it makes the vehicle one of the most mine-resistant military vehicles ever fielded.

Though relatively uncommon with less than 1,000 in service worldwide, the Saxon is a fairly well known sight to anyone who remembers the frequent news footage from the IRA violence in Northern Ireland during the 1980's.

This issue also includes basic rules for the use of water cannons as a riot control system.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
