ParticipantHow about taking a look at that big sign in red reading:
‘Here be Dragons’
and avoid that 44 page dead end?
But if you must – an armoured vehicle intended to take ground in the face of the enemy and engage and defeat enemy armour.
Tracked – possibly but what about some French stuff?
Turreted? – Swedish S Tanks?
Irrelevant. We know a British tank when we see it. It has kit for tea making.

So we’re agreed? A Bren Gun Carrier is a tank, right?

ParticipantTea- tick
Tracked – tick
Turreted – pass on that one we aren’t counting it
But if you fancy engaging enemy armour with it – good for you, bags of enthusiasm. well done!

ParticipantLike Montgomery, I’m aware of the risks and I’m willing to accept one hundred per cent casualties.

ParticipantIf you have a Bren Carrier and the enemy has no armoured vehicles then MGIAT!

ParticipantAs to what a tank is, sometimes even the manufacturers don’t know! Behold the Guy Wheeled tank….

ParticipantSay what you like about my spiky pedantry, it certainly generates posts.
Now, whether that’s a good or bad thing…

ParticipantI will offer my grandfather’s definition of the word “pedant.”
“Someone who takes great pains …. and gives them to other people!” 🙂 🙂 🙂
I think it’s a good thing NCS, I think it’s a good thing!

I’m in total agreement with this.
What does MGIAT mean?

ParticipantSince this thread has gotten all philosophical this might apply:
PS: Centurion is the most British tank of WW2, because it was too late to do any good, which is just so British.
One is good, more is better

The chart is too good not to borrow 🙂
