TanksUwU
M23 Thomas Luciole
With the fall of continental Anglotaine in 1941, the tide of public opinion in the Usonian Technate turned decisively against invading Asugisalic horde. Through lend-lease agreements, Usonian equipment began to find its way to the frontlines of the conflict in Anglotaine's various colonies and to the forces massing on the island of Albion(Having been one of the primary components of Anglotaine's dual monarchy since at least the 15th century). The cavalry arm successfuly lobbied to receive many of the Usonian tanks for its own use, with an emergency law being passed to repeal a previous ban on tanks in the cavalry(Up to this point, cavalry tanks had all been designated as armoured cars). Meanwhile, the increasingly heavy armour found in Asugisalic ranks since the late stages of the Tolmekian war spurred the development of a new 76.2mm hypervelocity anti tank gun. When mounted in the ubiquitous M23 Thomas, the combination came to be known as the "Luciole" due to the blindingly bright muzzle flash. The infantry initially rejected the vehicle due to its dissapointing HE capability and horrendous crew ergonomics, but began to spread them amongst their medium tank units to provide organic anti tank capability when they saw the dramatic successes of the cavalry's tanks against the fearsome "Tyrfing" breakthrough tanks of the Asugisalic forces
