Outside Nibeiwa was the operational strength of II Bn, 4th Tank Regiment. Although there were 70 M11/39s in theatre, they were mechanically unreliable and the regiment’s IBn was refitting near Tobruk. Essentially a development of the L3, the twin turret machine-guns were fully traversable, but the 1.5in. (37mm) gun in the hull only fired forwards. Maximum armour was 1in. (29mm), and it could manage nothing like its maximum speed of 20mph (32km/h) when moving cross-country due to its dreadful suspension. (TM - 3183/F6)
