It's interesting when you find out about the design philosophy and limitations behind tanks. The Italian tanks were limited by the Alpine road bridges and the Sherman had to be easily loaded onto ships. A lot of British thought was about policing the Empire.

And British tanks had to fit within the (rather-restrictive) loading gauge used on British railways.

That requirement was only finally abandoned with the Centurion.

The alternative is a USian Maus Clone (You know they'd go large) which could only fight Mexico and Canada.

I stumbled across this which may be of interest to some of the 'Modern' (1968) Soviet players

The auto caption & translate works in some places but fails amusingly on some of the code words  ;D

If I ever got caught by someone like that, at a show/painting demo......I used to try and get away, as fast as possible.  X_X

His tone reminds me of a Monty Python sketch......stop making figures with oversize garments and weapons....its silly!  ;)
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

Whatever next?
Expecting figures height to match their claimed "scale"?

He reminded me of the episode of Red Dwarf, when A.J. Rimmer regales the other crew members of the crew with his exploits playing Risk.
