When I built a WWI naval fleet, I went for Austro-Hungarians. My Cold War forces were East German.<br /><br />I find them more interesting than the more usual forces. All that said, it was still a joy to see Bovington's Tiger when I visited, and I'm looking forward to seeing it running later this year :)Russell Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619124529275341332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930075286229598152.post-30300817602920071962015-04-13T00:05:10.798-07:002015-04-13T00:05:10.798-07:00Particularly if you are a bit specialist (like me)...Particularly if you are a bit specialist (like me), as an example I`m reading Martin Windrow's "Our Friend Beneath the Sands" history of French Foreign Legion during the conquest period 1850-1935. Now I`m very familiar with this period and have read many of the books he himself recommends, so find I`m only adding the odd line to my own notes whilst reading his 600+ page volume ;) still a very enjoyable book though :) Richard Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09337938911330257839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930075286229598152.post-19602161752476449912015-04-12T23:45:07.396-07:002015-04-12T23:45:07.396-07:00I agree, the odd stuff tends to be more interestin...I agree, the odd stuff tends to be more interesting, if only because you've not read about it 100 times before :)Russell Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619124529275341332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930075286229598152.post-59839717537831402432015-04-12T11:09:44.520-07:002015-04-12T11:09:44.520-07:00I`m always interested in odd stuff, the fact that ...I`m always interested in odd stuff, the fact that I was unaware of the Spanish having this weird vehicle in Morocco, made it extra interesting :-)Richard Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09337938911330257839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930075286229598152.post-79436931897953351232015-04-12T10:49:35.248-07:002015-04-12T10:49:35.248-07:00Interesting vehicle, thanks for the write-up.

Vehicles that could use wheels or tracks seem to have been something of an obsession with inter-war vehicle designers.Russell Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619124529275341332noreply@blogger.com
