WI during the build-up to WW2, chapters of Mothers Against Dead Doughboys form in a dozen different countries. MADD chapters lobby politicians and factories to produce thousands of APCs in an effort to reduce infantry casualties in the upcoming war.
In keeping with inter-war doctrine, the mission is to deliver ten lightly-equipped infantrymen to the start-line of a battle. This WI differs from OTL in that it needs overhead cover to deliver infantry dry, with few casualties from air-bursting artillery shells.
Armament is limited to a single machine gun.
Manufactures may submit multiple samples for trials, but only two versions will be accepted for production: one wheeled and one tracked.

Given different terrain and production methods ...... how would APCs from different countries vary?
For example: would a Dutch APC need to travel lengthwise along canals? Would it be able to climb out of canals unaided?

Would British APCs be riveted from sheet steel?

Would Hungarian APCs include huge castings?
