The Warrior is one of my favorite British AFVs. I didn't know much about it before CMSF, but came to appreciate it's gun, protection and carrying capability. It is also a good looking fighting vehicle (GLFV?).

The Warrior is an excellent IFV and fully deserves the affection that "dirty dismounts" have for it but try staying awake & alert when you've been inside it for hours at a time, it ain't easy!
