Weird, I can upload pictures of anything except the crusader mk III - maybe it's too embarrassed.

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

The debate as to sloped armour - has its fulcrum in the date we are talking about.  If the Brits had a cruiser with sloped armour, Christie suspension and at least  75mm gun in action for 1941/42 they would have had a winner like the T34.  Which is the inspiration for the fantasy. 

The Aussi design - the Sentinel - is a wonderful example of what could have  been  achieved on a budget on the other side of the world.  A decent 17 pdr gun and American running gear.
