A "Battle Of Machines" - Longer Version. (1930)
Saw this on Facebook today "Salisbury Plain. A 'Battle of Machines' is the feature of this year's Army manoeuvres - when 'Southland's' army of 150 tanks and 15 armoured cars invade 'Northland' with its 50 tanks, 35 armoured cars and 2,000 cavalry!" Sounds an interesting scenario for a game...
Amazing footage of a by-gone era...fascinating. How small are those little tracked vehicles for towing cannons. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteThey look tiny to me, quite Heath Robinson esque!
DeleteFascinating stuff. Cavalry, tanks, tracked artillery tows, officers pointing at maps (and sometimes they're even the right way up!). A real VBCW vibe to it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSaw it on Facebook and thought others would appreciate it.
DeleteMarvellous.
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteAlan interesting film did you see Tim Gow's 1:72 tank into 54mm tankette? Could be helpful to your grid game plans. http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.com/2018/09/tankette-mki.html
ReplyDeleteI did but thanks for telling me. Tim and the FLW guys are very creative indeed.I might give it a go for these tiny artillery thingybobs...
