Ok so what if some enterprising young officer who was an engineer had read "The Land Ironclads" by H.G. Wells and produced some sort of "tank" like vehicle before World War One as apposed to just before the end of it. How would this have changed the war? I seriously doubt it would have resulted in a World War 2 style of mobility warfare due to the slowness of early tanks in OTL but I still think we might have seen a more fluid front. what are your ideas?
