It is not very healthy to send troops into combat that from a certain distance will resemble those of the enemy you're waging war against. Hence the helmet design employed by an ally was chosen. Helmet designs often bare interesting stories to them- like Ireland adopting the WWI German helmets in 1916 despite, or rather precisely due to the fact that most of Europe was amidst WWI- against Germany.If I remember correctly when the US picked out its first helmet it rejected a style similar to the German only because it would resemble the enemy's in combat - hence it would have likely adopted the German design itself if it was actually allied to Germany

Those Turtledove troopers, if made, shall definitly be going into my epic (and my choice to have the CSA on the map will be more rewarding than I initialy came to think)

If you can fit it in, "generic" versions of those two awesome vehicles - maybe with the eagle's shield & the crossed bars as solid civ color - would be of great value in other scenarios.

These are the 'clean' versions without the civ colors, purely for looks. In reality I made the 2 large trapezoidal grates onthe AV7 civ color and the two gun sponsons onthe Mark1 civ color.

I thought that in Turtledove's books, it is the USA, not the CSA, who used German material or am I completely wrong?

Barrel Class
Confederate Models
Mark 1 (Great War) - Rhomboid barrel; 10 man crew; two 50mm guns, 3 machine guns.
Mark 2 (Between the Wars) - More familiar shape, with rotating turret. Crew of 5-6; Estimated 37mm gun, 3 machine guns.
Mark 3 (Second Great War) - Upgraded version of Mk2. Crew of 5; 50mm gun, at least 2 machine guns.
Mark 4 (Second Great War) - It held a crew of 5; mounted a 75mm cannon, and had 2 machine guns.
Mark 5 (Second Great War) - The latest Confederate model, it sported a low hull, superbly sloped and thick armor that increased crew survival rates, and a high-velocity long-range 4.5 or 5-inch gun. While superior to all US barrels, there were too few to stem the tide.
Unites States Models
Mark 1 (Great War) - 18 man crew; one 50mm gun, 6 machine guns.
Mark 2 (Between the Wars) - Nicknamed the 'Custer.' The Custer was advanced for its time. It carried a crew of 5; mounted a 37mm gun, and carried at least 2 machine guns. The prototype Custer carried a 50mm gun.
Mark 2.5 (Second Great War) - This barrel was developed to be deployed as quickly as possible to meet the challenge of the Confederate Mark 4. It consisted of a Custer barrel body with an upgraded turret. It carried a crew of 5; and mounted 60mm gun, at least 2 machine guns.
Mark III (Second Great War) - The American response to the Confederate Mark 4. It was powerful, heavily armored with "perfectly" sloped armor, and carried a mounted 90mm cannon along with three machine guns. Deployed shortly before the invasion of Kentucky and Tennessee. This was the first United States barrel that outgunned the Confederates' best barrel.
