Behold the Courser family. All are built on a common forty five ton tracked chassis powered by a 180 rated fusion engine (of hatchetman, blackjack, and javelin fame) and have the required environmental sealing and (limited) amphibious capability.
While most of the vehicles meet their listed requirements well enough (if you're willing to count the ability to carry fragmentation or inferno SRMs as significant anti-infantry capability on the AFV), the self propelled gun only barely squeaks through. The only nod to advanced technology is the CASE on the AFV and IFV (but not on the SPAV because weight).
While I wanted to stick with a common chassis, the 180 engine could also work with a 30 ton tracked chassis (for potential scout vehicles) or a 40 or 50 ton wheeled chassis (which would probably yield a better self propelled gun).
