Thanks, fellas! :D

FYI:

The back story for these builds is based on His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of Kings of Ethiopia, Elect of God, surviving the Soviet-backed Derg coup of 1974 &, in fact, defeating it. Pushing most of the few surviving rebels out of Ethiopia into Somalia & Sudan, although some hid in Eritrea.

Fearing a repeat of the coup attempt, he strengthens his old ties with the British & the Commonwealth. My (vague) cycle of the main MBT's/AFV's/APC's/armoured-cars for Ethiopia is; Centurions/Scorpions & Scimitars/M-113's/FV721 Foxes's (1975-1982), M-60's/LAV-150's/M-113's/Luchs' (1982-2000), Challengers/Warriors/LAV-III's/Bushmasters (2000- ).

The dates are only general & based on the operational dates of the tanks, the other vehicles being phased into & out-of service over a broader time scale.
