They all look pretty relaxed, since they are not in combat, and this ‘away from harm’ attitude seems confirmed by the fact that none of them have even a holstered pistol, which would be unusual even if well away from any battlefield. One man is seated as if inside a vehicle, but the rest stand, either outside the vehicle or in the turret. Such machines are a far cry from the relatively unsophisticated vehicles that first saw action in the First World War, and today they bristle with technology to maximise every aspect of the tank’s performance.Ĭaesar have divided this set between tank crew and ordinary infantry, with the former shown on our top row, so we will take a look at those five figures first. Although current operations are of an anti-insurgent type, the US has approximately 1600 tanks in service at present, and a large reserve should the need arise. For over a century the tank has been a feature of the battlefield, and for most of that it has been the mainstay of land operations, a position it retains to this day.
