L3/35 (IT001)

	L3/35 (IT001) with four L3/35 tankettes with Lanciafiamme, Solothurn and Brixia options. The L3/35 tankette was a tiny armoured vehicle that was obsolete by the outbreak of the war. Unfortunately they made up the majority of the armour available to Italians in 1940. Check out the L3/35 in the online store here... Left: The L3/35 tankette.
"A Tankette Platoon is rated as Elite."

However, a number of field modifications were made to improve its effectiveness. Some were fitted with 20mm Solothurn anti-tank rifles to give it an anti-tank capability, while others were fitted with an externally mounted 45mm Brixia light mortar to increase its firepower against enemy defences.
"The L3/35 is armed only with a Twin hull machine-gun making it the scurge of any infantry team."

	Like any machine-gun carrier, if it targets infantry caught in the open it will cause high casualties, especially compounded by its twin machine-guns. Some L3/35 tankettes were fitted with flame-throwers and were ideal for clearing out enemy trenches. Designed by Evan Allan Painted by Bob Pearce
