Squad F's Light Tank. A Gallian model famed for its impact in the battles of EWI. Despite its age, the design is still in use across Gallia and many other Europan countries. Its weapons can be reconfigured depending on the situation.
After learning of the tank's exploits in EWI, Ronald Albee applied permission to name the tank after its former success. Minerva Victor obliged, and so the tank was officially named Glory.
Action Points: 500, 550 when "Improved Rivets" is purchased. Glory also has AP upgrade Parts, which can increase its mobility further.

Fully upgrading the Glory's body and guns costs 740,000. It also requires 8,000 Renown points to be spent in the Infirmary post-game to unlock the highest-tier upgrades. Purchasing all the additional tank parts costs an additional 129,000.
Being a Gallian Light Tank, it is based on the Panzer II.
Breda Arsenal and Erma are both real-life weapon manufacturers, respectively being Breda Meccanica Bresciana of Italy and Erfurter Maschinenfabrik of Germany (known as the manufacturer of the MP40).
The given dimensions of the main gun do not, however, match anything Breda ever made: instead, they are those of the 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24, the gun used on early Panzer IV and StuG III variants.
The reference to it as a "modified PaK cannon" is actually referencing the KwK 37's replacement, the 7.5 cm KwK 40, which was a modified version of the 7.5cm PaK 40 anti-tank cannon (Panzerabwehrkanone). This was a much longer-barrelled gun, the tank variants either 43/75mm or 48/75mm.
Glory starts off looking like a regular Gallian Light tank but can be upgraded to look like the Shamrock in skirt design.
During the mock battle between Squad F and Squad E, Minerva refers to Glory by the callsign "Spumador." This means "the foaming one" and according to legend was the name of a horse belonging to King Arthur.
