Grand Alliance Tank

In September of 1944 the Grand Alliance has completed a fleet of four prototype tanks. These are approximately 4.8 meters long (16 feet), 3 meters (10 feet) wide and are armored against small arms and light artillery. They are armed with a pair of side mounted machine guns in sponsons. [BITW Hb. p, 60]

Due to demands of the Navy for plate steel only four prototypes were made according to Alan Letts Chairman of the United Homes, former Lemurian Human Alliance. At the end of BITW Major I'joorka asks Letts for the tanks to be assigned to the 1st Regiment North Borno Infantry.

In Devil's Due during Operation Outhouse Rat of the four tanks assigned to the 1st Regiment North Borno Infantry one is lost before reaching the beach, and one is destroyed by Grik cannon fire leaving two [DD Hb. p. 333-334.]

In River of Bones we see that "half a dozen" IE six (6) tanks came from Alan Letts [ROB Hb. p. 169.] Added to the two survivors of Operation Outhouse Rat that makes a total of eight tanks.
