Title: Remember the Rakali - little known Aussie Tank Killer
Post by: uncle les on June 13, 2021, 07:35:13 PM

When I say little known of course I mean virtually unheard of post-war indigenously built rodent class tank destroyer.

Brilliant!

Also as I had just flipped from my Secret Projects Tab to this one I had to take a second to recalibrate as i for a split second though I was about to read a Secret Projects topic on an actual system. :-[

yeah sorry 'bout that.  I just got incensed by someone on facebook posting a comical "already done the rounds" uncredited wotif image in an inappropriate forum which resulted in me spending the arvo committing maquetticide.

Love it  :-*  And the name was a great choice. If the rakali is one the few Aussie mammals able to choke down a cane toad, what potential prey would be too much for the mighty Rodent Class? Bring 'em on!

That's the sort of disturbing plot twist to introduce as a wild card in some TOBRUK (Avalon Hill) style miniatures battle, perfect for taking on Rommel's PANTHER tanks during their drive to the Suez.
