On this special Labor Day Episode (my excuse for it being late) we are discussing the Prototype T1/T1E1 & T2 Medium Tanks! We're steadily progressing through the tech tree of the Medium tank, working up to the M4 Sherman-- however, we've got a bit of a ways to go, so strap in and get ready to dig into some mid-1920/early 1930s technological marvels!

Enjoy!
