The 35M CV Tankette was the Italian L3/35, which was developed along the lines of the British Carden-Loyd Mk VI tankette. Between 60 and 70 Italian tankettes were used on the Eastern Front, rearmed with Hungarian 8mm 34M machineguns. Some were later equipped with 8mm 34M/37M machineguns. They saw some action on the Eastern Front but from 1941 they were used for training and by the police. Some were subsequently given to the Croatian Army in 1943.

The 38M Toldi I Light Tank was a license-built version of the Swedish Landsverk L60.B. After extensive trials in 1938 it was recommended that the steering configuration be changed, that the transmission be modernized, that more extensive vision devices be added, that the ventilation be improved and that the suspension be modified for a smoother ride. Some of these suggestions could be implemented, but not all were completed, due to time constraints. A modified version of the Nehhezpuska 20mm Anti-Tank rifle 36M (a license-built semi-automatic Solothurn gun) was used as the main armament. MÁVÁG and Ganz were assigned to build the tanks, and production of this three-man light tank began in August 1939. For game purposes this unit also includes the Toldi II, a more heavily armored version which began to appear in 1942. 80 Toldi I and 140 Toldi II were built.

The 38M(t) Light Tank was the German PzKpfw 38(t)G. Having committed to fielding an armored division for the 1942 campaign in Russia, and with their own tank production lagging, it was decided to purchase some German tanks. About 102 to 111 PzKpfw 38(t)G's, along with a few other models, were purchased in the spring of 1942. The PzKpfw 38(t)G was an uparmored version of the PzKpfw 38(t)A. The additional armor increased the vehicle's weight, but did not impair its speed.

The 40M Turán I Medium Tank was a license built version of the Czech Skoda built T-22 Medium Tank. A demonstration was given in Hungary in June/July 1940 and a license agreement was signed in August 1940. Before production began on this five-man tank, the Czech tank was modified on a number of points: the three-man turret was substituted for the original two-man turret and a 260 HP V-8 engine designed by the Hungarian company of Manfred Weiss was installed. A special tank-mounted version of the standard Hungarian 40mm 40M Anti-Tank gun (derived from the German Rheinmetall-Borsig 37mm PaK 35/36 AT gun) was developed by MÁVÁG. In November 1940 a license was obtained for the Skoda 40mm A17 tank gun developed from the A7 gun used in the LT-38 tanks. The result was the 40mm 41M tank gun of the Turán tank. The gun fired the same ammunition as the 40mm 37M Bofors AT gun, which was made by MÁVÁG. The first prototype was finished in August 1941 and production had begun by October 1941. The Hungarian government placed an initial order of 190, later raised to 230, and four different firms in Hungary built them. The Turán (pronounced "TOO-ron") entered service in 1942 and a second order for 70 was placed in that year, with a total of 285 built by the time production ceased in 1944.

The 41M Turán II Medium Tank was a modified version of the 40M Turán I. With the disaster that befell the Hungarian Army (Honvédség) on the Don in January 1943, it was clear that the Turán I was obsolete and that a gun caliber of 75mm was the minimum acceptable for a modern tank. Development of a version of the Turán with a short 75mm gun had started in 1941. The gun was developed by MÁVÁG from the Austro-Hungarian Böhler 76.5mm 18M field gun, later designated the 75mm 41M tank gun. An order for 322 Turán II tanks was placed in 1942 and the first tanks were delivered to the troops in May 1943. A total of 139 tanks were built before production ceased due to the German occupation of Hungary in 1944. The Turán ("TOO-ron") II was the Hungarian main battle tank from 1944.

IVD was designed in the mid-1930s as a close-support vehicle for tank units. The 75mm L/24 gun was effective against soft targets, but due to its low muzzle velocity, had only a mediocre Anti-Tank capabilitywithout the use of special hollow charge (HEAT - High Explosive Anti-Tank) ammunition.

The IVM F2 hosszu (long) Medium Tank was the German PzKpfw IVF2. About 10 were given to the Hungarians in September 1942 to give them some added antitank capability. In response to the well-armored T-34's and KVs of the Red Army, the Germans began designing a much more powerful gun for the Pz IV in late 1941. When it was ready, it was introduced during production of the Pz IVF, thus creating the PzKpfw IVF2. This changed the basic role of the Pz IV from support tank to main battle tank, with a gun more powerful than any then being carried in Allied tanks. Though still under-armored, the Pz IVF2 provided a great increase in the striking power of panzer formations.

Testing of this four-man assault gun was conducted through January 1943, and it was accepted for production with an order placed for forty in April 1943. This order was later increased to 140.

In 1938 the War Ministry ordered production of the Csaba rather than face the protracted arrangements of importing vehicles and obtaining the license rights. As a result, the first Csaba was produced in June 1939. It was a fairly advanced design, with a two-speed, four-wheel steering system as well as four-wheel drive. Front and rear driving positions, plus a transmission with five speeds in reverse, enabled the vehicle to back out of trouble quickly.

The 40M 40mm Anti-Tank Gun was a Hungarian modification of their German 37mm PaK 35/36 guns. By 1940, Hungarian Army expansion meant that more Anti-Tank guns were needed - but at that time Germany could or would not supply them. The Hungarians decided to make their own, so a number of 36M 37mm AT guns had their worn barrels replaced by modified Bofors 40mm AA gun barrels. A small number of these guns were produced and issued.  This platoon represents a 3 gun 40M 40mm Anti-Tank Gun platoon.

Exactly why these modern guns were sold to Hungary at a time when the Italian Army was itself in desperate need of such equipment is unclear. The Hungarians discovered a weakness in the carriage after prolonged use and towing. They made their own alterations and changed the designation to the 40M. Soon thereafter the Hungarians started producing their own version of the gun, designating it the 40aM. About a dozen appear to have been produced.

The Austro-Hungarian Army of the First World War had a long and rich tradition, with German as its official language. Many in the officer corps were commissioned in the new Royal Hungarian Army (Honvédség) at the end of WWI. The senior officer corps was thus composed of seasoned officers, though with their roots dating back to the First World War, there was undoubtedly some resistance to new ideas. Younger officers had to graduate from the Ludovica, or Military Academy of Hungary. Competition for entrance was keen, and physical and mental standards were high. Once selected, the applicant was assigned to a branch of the army and had to serve for a year before actually entering the academy. The academy course lasted another three years, with schooling that was almost entirely military. Upon graduation the cadet was commissioned a second lieutenant.
