Tank Geekery

[Anders]

I'm not a real war buff, though I do have the general male "coooool" reaction to anything to do with WWII and due to my interest in gaming I've picked up some war history knowledge.

Anyway, by way of a WWIII game expansion covering a hypothetical Soviet invasion of Sweden I found this pretty cool clip of the Swedish Stridsvagn S ("S Tank") demonstrating its maneuverability.

We actually have a guy in one of the local tribes who has a British tank from the Cold War - tiny thing, seven feet tall, with car tires instead of tank treads, so it could drive down cobblestone streets - and it's always interesting interviewing the war buffs about their favorite vehicles.

I know there were a lot of armored cars with wheels. They can look pretty funky.
