YaATW2KT: The Second Mexican-American War

[Olefin]

FYI I was doing some research over lunch and found a very intriguing tank that would fit perfectly in the Mexican Army - ever heard of the X1A and X1A2 light tanks - they were Stuart tanks that were modified by Brazil with a new engine, an improved suspension, new upper hull armor, modern fire controls and a 90 mm gun in a brand new turret - with the X1A2 going even further

and the Brazilians were finally phasing them out right about the time the Mexicans would have been looking for vehicles

they could have either:

a) just bought as many as they could get (which would up to 80 as the Brazilians were still using the X1A2's)

or

b) they had 45 Stuarts of their own - and they could have done the mod themselves under license or sent them to Brazil to get modified

that turns a bunch of elderly Stuarts with a pop-gun into a decent anti-armor vehicle with a gun that the South Africans were using to take out T54/55's in Angola
