    It is a Christie Tank

    to keep it open I won't mension the type.

    It has something to do with the fact that the us cavalry was not allowed to have tanks.

    Right. They had "combat cars". By an act of Congress only the infantry could have tanks.

    It's American, from the late 1920's but what it is I do not know. The 30 cal is a give away.

    I´ve completely forgotten this one. It´s indeed an American "combat car", datet from the early 30´s. Still no answers ?

    This is the T2.

    Funny, I´m beginning to think it´s rather good looking now that I´m getting a bit more used to it. :)

    Ah, yes.
    Experimental 'Russian' (SSSR, or CCCP :D ) tank. Designed as a heavy tank with low ground pressure, plus it apparently could sit in the path of the winds following a nuclear/hydrogen bomb explosion without toppling over.
    It's name...
    Can't remember!

    Well, since you obviously are thinking about the right tank and I no longer can remember what it was called ...

    your turn, Ricky. :smok:

    Yeah, the same went for me and the picture above. I just assumed you had the right answer, because I had no idea... :D

    sadly, the T-18 has already been mentioned elsewhere! ;)

    If anybody has a good one lined up, don't hesitate to post it
