==Overview:==
The BMP ("Basic Military Patrol") unit represents the first original design to
come out of the Duchy of Small. The Duchy has been aggressive towards some of
its neighbors, and so it only makes sense that it would develop an indigenous
weapons factory to help back up its boasts.

On the surface, the BMP appears to be little different from other light tanks.
It has an AC/5 as its main weapon, and a machine gun to support it. While the
infantry compartment is somewhat novel, it's not all that original.

What does make the BMP stand out, however, is the fact that it comes from the
factory with amphibious locomition equipment. Information is spotty as to
possible reasons why, but the most likely scenario is that the Duchy simply
wanted a vehicle that could have a limited operational capacity in water. It
has been argued that the Duchy is lacking hovercraft and bridgelaying units,
but this cannot be confirmed at this time.
