>>6352027Tank: The Black Dog
Commander: Sgt Macheath aka Mack The Knife, big huge Scottish-American whose extended family back home suffered quite a lot before the U.S. finally waded into the war. He has been itching to fight for a long while, and sometimes frightens the crew with his brutality - he has a Sykes-Fairbairn combat dagger and (inexplicably) a large meat cleaver, and likes to fight with both of them whenever he has the chance to use blades instead of bullets.
Gunner: Cpl Potter aka Pot-Shot, smokes like a chimney whenever he can get out of the tank long enough, loves to gamble also and will take every opportunity to talk someone into a game of cards to possibly win more cigarettes playing poker, spades, or even just 'War'
Loader: Pvt Potter, aka Piss Pot, the Gunner's younger brother, drinks like his brother smokes, and got his name from an incident where he soiled himself, Macheath promised he would get a better nickname the day he killed a German with his own gun, and if he kills one with a knife he gets to call Mack 'Piss Pot' in perpetuity with no repercussions
Driver: Pvt Nelson, cool and collected, direly cynical, reads lots of poetry and can recite it with perfect, eidetic recollection, believes you're all going to die and that you probably deserve it
Asst Driver: Pvt Cage, a greaser-type from NYC, comes from destitution, knows how to juggle, throw knives, and do trick shots because his parents were both circus performers and sometimes clowns, has a horrible phobia of rats
