Wargaming gives Australian tank new home

Wargaming is proud to announce that it has transported the Australian Cruiser tank Mark 1 (AC1) from Texas, USA, to the Australian Armor & Artillery Museum in Cairns. Acquired from the private collection of the late Jacques Littlefield, a well-known tank enthusiast and founder of the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation, the Sentinel is now waiting to undergo minor renovations and will soon make its public debut back in its homeland.

The Australian Cruiser tank Mark 1 (AC1), also known as the "Sentinel", was the only tank to be designed and mass-produced in Australia during World War II. Just seven Australian Cruiser tanks remain in the world, making it a rarity amongst historic military vehicles...

Rumor has it that in one of these seven was hidden a fortune in jewelry taken during the sack of Rangoon in 1945....

And now you have the basis of a Merc:2000 campaign:

• Track one of the tanks
• Break into wherever they are
• Search the tank

Repeat

(or DO ..... WHILE (treasure = not found) ).
