We take on the best tank of the early second world war, the French Char B1 Bis. There was a lot to hate about this tank, but a surprising amount of good things there too. Also we talk to Clayton about building model tanks, and have some thoughts about the war in Ukraine!

43 - Char B1 Bis, How good can a French tank be?

It's a podcast about tanks. Do you want to listen to people talking about tanks? If so this is the podcast for you! World Wars, Cold Wars, modern tanks, we cover them all while drinking a lot of beer.

Be warned though, we grapple with the politics behind the tanks, the economics, the industrial policies. Tanks are intensely political objects in both their creation and their use. 

So if you just want to hear dudes banging on about lethality, well, we've got dudes banging on anyway.
