[X]Plan Caterpillar
-[X]Entire vehicle must be armored and proofed against shell splinters and small-arms/machine gun fire; if necessary, sides and rear can merely be bullet-resistant.
-[X]Should be of an appropriate weight and size to be transportable via standard rail flat-cars, if at all possible.
-[X]Should be able to keep up with an infantry advance and be able to traverse broken ground (trenches, shell craters, barbed wire, mud, etc) without becoming bogged down or stuck (too often, anyway).
-[X]Armament should be sufficient for suppressing or neutralizing enemy strong-points and trench lines and ideally utilize weapons already being produced by our war industries.
