[Richard Humphries · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 simple action stories - exactly what it says on the tin.

and because of the time they were written, lots of casual racism against the Japanese for the second story.

[Duncan Steele · Rating 3 out of 5]

Casual racism ahoy as some very iffy 70s views about foreigners are on show here. Lots of words you wouldnt get away with now as Germans and Japanese are butchered in a variety of interesting ways by plucky Brits in tanks.

Also the final story has 2 random pages from a different Commando inserted instead of the actual story which means that we miss the first appearance of the Germans and arrive back mid-battle.

Good collection of stories - just love a good tank story... The best one was "A Tank called Tessie"...
After a second read through 2 out of 3 stories were okay, Still enjoyed A Tank called Tessie...
