MKII Light Tank*
*
A simple replacement of the Whippet series dating* 
from the mid 1930s school of 'tankette warfare'.*
*
This envisaged fleets of small machine gun carriers*
impenetrable by rifle and MG fire dominating the*
battlefield.*
*
Unfortunately for the theorists, and the crews of the*
many tankettes (briefly) around at the start of WW2,*
this theory ignored the effect of even moderate AT*
guns on such a fleet, especially if these were*
mounted on other light bullet proof armoured vehicles*
which the tankette's MG armament could not cope with.*
*
*
In WW2 the few remaining examples  were only used in*
colonial outposts, or for training purposes*
