@Horus Lupercal you remember? They really deserved tanks though.
Tanker Mice from Mars. Would be a work of irony if they were using Maus/Ratte AFVs as well.

Or Tanker Mice, riding in tanks named after big cats.

This needs a TV show. Tanks operated by whatever they're named after, so crowds of big cats wanging AT shells at various Civil War generals and leaders of the United Kingdom

Correct me if I'm wrong but there weren't really many British tanks names after our leaders. Theres the Churchill , I can't think of any others. British tank names were quite generic ; Matilda , valentine , crusader , challenger etc

Ok, if you insist...

A more accurate phrase I could use is 'crewed by the letter C', because most British tanks start with that (Chieftain, Centurion, Challengerx3, Crusader, Comet, Cromwell, Churchill etc) but it'd be difficult to crew a vehicle with a letter of the alphabet or a valentines day card (you could get a matilda in a matilda though) so I picked the largest single group of tie-ins able to crew an AFV, which happened to be national leaders.

Just found out that flamethrower is a war crime
Actually, it isn't.

It's only illegal to use incendiary weapons (including flamethrowers) against civilian targets (for obvious reasons) or against military targets within civilian areas (for obvious reasons). But there's nothing in the protocol against driving your NOD flame tank up to a bunker full of dudes and flammenwerfing the shit out of them.


It's actually more legal to use a flamethrower in combat than it is to use a 'not a flamethrower' outside of combat.

Interesting you may find it: I am forbidden to take anyone whatsoever's life by fire. Not even in war.

I can't imagine that comes up often.

I mean, you're not a member of a super secret assassin society, are you? :p
