    You mean the Grant/Lee? The M3? The Priest was a SPG 105mm howitzer on the M3 chassis. The Ford GAA was already well into development in 39, same with the hydromatic gearbox.

    Narrow-gauge can work, but only up to certain inclines (unless you build monster locomotives like the Big Boys). Moreover, you then need to interface between the narrow and standard gauge lines, both require extensive switchyards if you want any sort of traffic volume, etc. Note that...

    Mountainous terrain, parts of cities away from the rail right of way, indeed anywhere where there isn't a rail right of way, thick forest (easier to cut roads than railroads) etc. Was the autobahn gold-plated? Yes, but it wasn't useless either.

    As the US... I'd have 3 distinct lines of combat vehicles. First, a light tank, using twin Cadillac V-8 engines mated to Hydromatic transmissions like in the M5, but armed with a 57mm Diggs-Schroeder gun (which were still in use in various Coast Guard vessels at the time) instead of the 37mm...

    The premise is in the title. In 1939, you, with all of your current knowledge and the ability to look things up on wikipedia via some ROB's intervention are in charge of <insert country here>'s AFV development and doctrine, with complete carte blanche to develop it to your satisfaction. The...
