Wargame News and Terrain: Company B: New 15mm Anime Tank Commander School Gi...: Company B released these 15mm Anime tank commanders, allowing you to play Girls und Panzer! For those that like to game Sensha-Dou in 15...
THE PLOT:
The story takes place in a universe where historical WWII-era tanks are maintained for sports warfare competitions and large carrier ships known as Academy Ships support mobile sea communities. Of the many activities high school girls can participate in, one of the most popular is "sensha-dō" (戦車道?, lit. "the way of the tank"),[ the art of operating tanks, which is considered a traditional martial art. Miho Nishizumi, a girl from a prestigious family of sensha-dō practitioners who became traumatized by a past event, transfers to Ōarai Girls High School to get away from sensha-dō, as she presumed the school was no longer practicing the sport. However, shortly after Miho begins her new school life and makes some new friends, the student council announces the revival of sensha-dō at Ōarai and coerces Miho, the only student with prior experience, to join. While reluctant to join at first, having practically been forced, Miho soon warms up to sensha-dō again and comes to enjoy it, after which the school prepares to enter a national sensha-dō championship, facing off against various other schools

I've watched a bit of the show online. It's okay.
But I may have to get some of these TCs just to irritate the grognards in my gaming club when we play FOW. Do any of them ride about in British tanks?
I've seen a Lee and a Matilda
IIRC St Gloriana's School use British tanks exclusively. And they pride themselves on serving tea mid-battle without ever spilling a drop.
I confess, Girls Und Panzer is a guilty, insane pleasure of mine. Panzer Vor!
The rightmost TC miniature is the team captain from St Gloriana Girls High School, the "British" one (all schools are Japanese, but most are themed after a WW2 country)...
She's named Darjeeling IIRC (all "British" girls are named after teas).
The school is seen fielding Mathilda IIs and a Churchill VII.
