A British Rapier SAM missile system

The Book of Armaments

There are many different types of military units available to players of The Spectrum Wars IV: A New Hope. They range from divisions of Armored Cavalry to Guerrillas, from nuclear-powered super-carriers to small torpedo boats, and from Stealth Bombers to ASW Helicopters. You can raise a massive army to crush your foes underfoot, create an air force to dominate the skies, or build a fleet capable of blockading an enemy's coast and landing marines on their beaches. You can even fortify your coasts and borders with minefields and fortresses, and protect your cities and airfields with anti-aircraft missile batteries. You can research new technologies and build fearsome weapons of mass destruction, or rely on off-the-shelf weapons systems that are tried and true. Click on the links below to see the available units. Don't see a superior weapons system that you want to build, like submersible aircraft carriers, laser-armed radar planes, or giant robot tanks? Email the moderator and ask for advice on designing new units as part of your research program.
