Wonderful Tortoise and Matador/Deacon - I especially like the recoil on the latter.
For those Not-In-The-Know:
(1) "The Tank, Heavy Assault, Tortoise (A39) was a British heavy assault tank design developed in World War II but never put into mass production. It was developed for the task of clearing heavily fortified areas and as a result favoured armour protection over mobility. Although heavy, at 78 tons, and not readily transported, it was reliable and a good gun platform."
(2) The AEC Matador was a British 4x4 lorry, " Medium artillery tractor": 7.75 tons; 20 ft 10 in long x 7 ft 10 in wide by 9 ft 7 in high. "In 1942/43 for the North African campaign some Matadors mounted the 6 pounder anti-tank gun to give the AEC Mk1 Gun Carrier 'Deacon'."
