What on earth is that thing in the middle?

A miniature version of the WWI A7V.  Kind of like a Shriner's Car in the US, I'm thinking. Used for parades, perhaps recruiting, etc.  Kinda like this mini-F16 the Air Force uses.

But the "funny" tanks produced for D-Day actually worked.

They couldn't move too fast, but at least they were slow...

Hmmm, someone can send the sabot downrange, but gets prissy at return fire...

heh.  worst i've ever done to myself was sunk the roadwheels in a patch of Fort Polk yellow No-Go daisies...  took two M88s daisy chained to yank it out at daylight.

never quite got around to doing a full turtle top...

The moving foxholes prolly do attract the eye. The 175mm article at Wikipedia was obviously written by a Veteran and a partisan of that particular piece; he wrote of sniping tanks with it and watching them fly through the air. Bigger gun trumps all. All citizens of of a republic are presumed capable, as amateur infantrymen, of occupying a country whose most-pesky defenders have just been slaughtered at long distance by redlegs. See, you don't need to be expert infantry, just amateur militia infantry, as long as the redlegs have terrorized and splattered them for you. No, really. BadAss Regulars are needed to back up the amateur sojers, in a Real Republic.J

This is why I let JTG hang around...

Mikey - yer a PowerPoint Ranger, it ain't hard to return fire.

'Sides, we need to pick on the infantry.

I'd rather be a "King of Battle" than a queen.  LOL
