I know you did score me that copy of "Once an Eagle," but when something like this falls in my lap... how can I not use it?

This is either:

A. The new "Leopard Lite" for nations which can't afford a chassis.

B. The new "Leopard Hovertank"

C. The new "PionierPanzer Leopard 2A5-XT" with the "X-treme Tunneling" option.

D. A Leo stuck in a deep mudhole.

Take the test!

There were no write-in spaces provided, John! We're not interested in the truth - besides, why Swede and not someone else? Or have you seen this picture elsewhere and know already? Came to me untitled, I was assuming Dutch or Danish. I think those two gents with the shovels display an admirble, if unlikely, optimism.

Via, I'll say it's a hovertank--but that's because I'm a David Drake fan. David Drake's Official Home Page

I vote for the hovertank too. It's the most plausable. ;)

Ewwwww. I did that once when I was in Officers Basic at Knox. It was a little soupier and I remember the exact moment of realization as it climbed up the front slope that it wasn't going to stop before it got to the open drivers hatch.

1. The Smoke Grenade Dischargers/Vehicle Protection System in the semi-conical housing. 2. LRF detectors on the front edge of the turret face. 3. Roof armour against top-attack munitions. Cheers JMH

Humbug! I do this for fun and ego gratification. Cheers JMH
