criticized a recent Workbench entry, I challenged him to show that he could do better... 
The British A10 Cruiser Tank MK II was developed alongside the A9 Cruiser Tank, with the intention of creating a heavier, infantry-tank version of the same type. However, during testing it was not deemed suitable for the infantry-tank role, and was classified instead as a "heavy cruiser."
Mark IIs were part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) sent to France in the early stages of World War II, and were still being used later in North Africa at the defense of Tobruk in 1941, where reliability and suspension performance in the desert conditions was praised.
