Captain Mainwaring Sir, we could use these to go round corners and look for Jerry, Sir.

You stupid boy Pike, you would need remote control and a camera and they haven't been invented yet.

Simpkins, it's no use crying man. Your Action Men are just dolls, their tanks are plastic... They just aren't going to stand up to an AP round from a Panzer...

Capt Mainwaring: "Now pay attention, men. I've come up with this idea for learning to drive a miniature tank before High Command give us full-size ones, and, er, Private Walker has managed to get these built for us. I want you each to get in one of them, and I'll judge your driving skills."
Sgt Wilson: "Aren't they a bit small, Sir?"
Capt Mainwaring: "Very good, Wilson. I was wondering who'd be the first to notice that."

Great work chaps. Outstanding effort. For our next order, let's have a closer look at the scale section of the plans eh what?

Of course, you do realise that if we scale them up a bit, we can just go through the fences & not under them?

In the days before portable phones, the US Army Signals Corps had to train their radio equipment to follow them on a lead.
