Description
This is set in an alternate universe where during World War 2 Japan was becoming a serious threat to Australia, and an invasion was to occur in the early 1940's. In this universe Australia has a much bigger industrial scene with resources such as iron and foil deposits in and around the country. The L1-T was put into design and development when Japan invaded Indochina in January 1935. Presented with the threat of invasion the Australian PM commissioned one of the larger manufacturing companies in Australia, Pegasus Industrial, to design an armored vehicle that was quick, small and easily produced.

The result is the Light Tank L1-T, a lightly armored scout tank fitted with a British 40mm Bofors cannon with a 4 shot magazine. It had a hull mounted 7.62m machine gun operated by the driver and could achieve a top speed of 56 km/h on rough terrain. The gunner and commander were situated inside the turret, the gunner would perform firing and reloading/servicing of the main gun and the commander would command the tank as well as operate the long range radio.

Turret:
- Front - 18mm
- Mantlet - 20mm
- Side - 10mm
- Rear - 5mm

Engine - 260 Hp diesel
