 Subject:  USMC was not satisfiedList thread.

In February 2007 the Washington Post reported the USMC was not satisfied with the reliability of the prototypes and was not going to initiate production as planned. Instead the Corps has asked for seven new prototypes, to address the current deficiencies which have caused an average of one failure for every four and a half hours of operation.

I do believe that this version is history.
But I do think that it would make for an interesting model kit.

Sounds like another Bradley situation to me.
P.S. Dave, really nice work on the Tank Warfare on Iwo book!
Hope to see you at Scalefest in May.
