I think I would:

1. Hope that the enemy have no anti-tank weapons.

2. If they do have any anti-tank weapons, hope that they are not capable of penetrating its armour (any grogs care to give me the glacis thickness of this beast?).

3. If they have effective anti-tank weapons, rely on the fact that they will never be able to estimate the range accurately, as the shape will fit in no known stadi reticule and it's not clear which way up the vehicle is.

4. If none of the above apply, rely on the enemy being incapacitated with laughter.

Then again, I'm not Spanish. Think of the Asturian Miners. Given the terrible Spanish Bravery Surplus of the late 1930s, I don't doubt that the crew would have taken the thing into action regardless of how bad it was.

Seriously, does anyone have any more information on this vehicle?

All the best,

John.
