Bren Carrier on a Pad?

Someone brings one of those to WWII Weekend in Reading, PA.  It really scurries along.

Bren Carrier was actually a nickname. It's official name was Universal Carrier. 

So do we need to identify the rocks around it too?  :)

While we're waiting on Oldman, give this one some thought. This picture cracked me up when I first saw it.  :lol

(I took some leeway, since this is actually from WW I, but I figured you guys would like this )

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Could you not find an older, crappier example?  What was this thing mounted on?  A Roman ballista?

Looks real familiar but, just a little wrong.......... :neener:

A clue. It's the only Revi design that ever saw a B-29.

The Japanese really didn't have very many original designs, and most were redesigns of German Revi2, Oigee, Revi12 and Revi25.

You guys said name that ww2 thing........or was it things you guys were familiar with??

A ballista would have been an improvement over a lot of the Japanese hardware.

Since 2002 I always wondered why you guys had no interest in one of the most important instruments to this kiddy shoot-em up game. Here you bunch of lectus habitaculo barbarorum.
