Mulling over a possible Polish 39 force , using the new Poles which are excellent, I came across this which looks like an early attempt at a Polish SPG with a 37mm AT gun on a Tankette chassis (Think it's the TKS-D ), amybody out there have more information on this armoured Leviathon?, ps can we have one for the Polish range to give the Tankettes a bit more punch?

Nice little bit of kit!

Seemingly only half a dozen total of the two designs built, two probably-definitely fought with the 10th Brigade & were lost, the rest might have fought and been lost in Warsaw? Most likely only really of interest as a "what if" if they'd been adopted and produced in numbers...

Thanks for the information, just what I was after, sadly Poland was only able to produce a couple of prototypes before the war broke out so this firmly places this in the "what if?" category! It could have been a contender.......still cool looking little bit of kit  :)

Hullo,
Punch-wise the 20 mm auto cannon armed tankette is not that bad, in my experience. Well, better than a MG armed Vickers anyway. At least in our CoC games the cannon tankette has earned healthy respect from the jerries.
