	The Matilda II, otherwise known as Matilda Senior or simply Matilda (because the Matilda I was never really used), was an infantry tank that saw brief use in France, and wider use in North Africa and the Pacific. Lend-lease meant that the Soviets also made use of the vehicle, but not for very long: ~~it's~~ complicated track-system and heavy skirts meant that it often got bogged down in mud and snow.

	The Matilda II was one of the British mainstays of the early-war. A product of British infantry tank doctrine, it was ''very'' slow and cumbersome, but had armor that was equivalent to the Russian KV-1 heavy. This was during the time when the only real competition were Panzer IIIs, and when 75mm cannons were mostly limited to either howitzers or field guns. The 2-pdr could punch straight through most other vehicles of the time (but not itself), and in North Africa, it pretty much destroyed Italian tankettes, much to their embarrassment. This does not mean the Matilda was unstoppable: far from it, the tank's slow speed meant that the Germans simply needed to outmaneuver it and hit it from its more vulnerable sides; PaKs could also take one down when close, and of course, the German 88s could destroy them at pretty much any range.
