This I've fictionalized and pulled together from all over as an attempt to rationalize the RTA in Wesworld within the confines of Thailand as a former Danish colony.
Changes, criticisms, and comments are welcome.
I know that the British tanks are going to get some comment but frankly I think its what Siam could afford and what it would buy given the current markets. Both the Vickers six ton and the Carden Loyds are the best you could buy I thinik as a third tier power.
Anyway, here is the current lineup as of 1935.
