So, while I was sitting and staring at the walls of an insane asylum for the last 3 1/2 weeks; it occured to me how Italian tankettes could have been completely repurposed during ww2 to be very useful.

Basically, the tank remains unchanged for one minor change, the addition of a forward mounted morter, cooling water, and box of ammo. Repurposing dozens of tanks, in such a manner, allows for the rapid deloyment of closein antipersonal artillery in a massed with dozens of tanks in a single location, allowing either breakthroughs where infanty are entrenched or to break up infantry advances, all at minimal risk to the tankettes and their crews; all while allowing the repurposing of equipment that would otherwise be obsolete, to become equipment that can completely change a tactical picture, allowing either breakthrough or defense, before rapidly moving to another location, enmass.

Thoughts?
