Infantry Tanks
The infantry tank was a concept developed by Britain in the years leading up to the war. They generally carried more armour than the cruiser tanks as they did not need such a high top speed. They were designed to work as close support for the infantry. They were armed with either the QF 2 pdr, QF 6 pdr, or the QF 75 mm.
