In our first episode of 2021 we take on the most produced armoured fighting vehicle of history, the father of the technical, and yet the almost utterly unknown Universal Carrier!

Rob and John take on the most produced tank in the history of the world with special help from a guest who has lived the dream of commanding a stolen tank in a dystopian war-zone. It's a special bumper episode on the kalashnikov of tanks, the T-55!

Rob and John start off with the modern state of tank conflict in the caucasus before teeing up on what Japanese armour had to offer the world in 1942.

Bringing us back to the point that the best tank is the best tank you've got.

A tank that only made sense as a fascist empire failed to come to terms with the reality of its own demise.

It still remains one of the great villains of history, an icon to conjure with.

This month we talk about the Tiger.

A tortured development, a weird anglo-iranian heritage, a tank designed to invade Iraq, that got to do it twice.

The wrong gun with the wrong engine, and an armour scheme that no-one understands.

And yet if we had to choose one tank to go to war in, in 2020, it's this weird beast.

Forget your big cats, forget your miracle weapons.

The greatest German tracked fighting vehicle of the Second World War was based around proven manufacturing, training, and logistics and an adequate gun.

Thankfully they did not learn from this lesson.

But we've learned plenty from talking through the history of the Stug III.

Responding to listener demand we bring you the dawn of the tank, the history of the tank in the first world war.

In this outing we take a deep breathe and go though the most poorly understood and yet massively produced tank of the world's most important tank war.

We dive deep on the M4 Sherman.

It was the best of tanks, it was the worst of tanks...

In our Christmas edition we take on the mighty Soviet Colossus, the KV-1.

Also the beer review is Bombardier Premium British Ale!

The most influential tank of the cold war? Consider the little known, but widely fought light French terror, the AMX-13.
