This is the page that I'll update often to store all the schools I've created. The Fonts might be different, but that might be fixed later on. This is basically just all it is. It'll be updated as I introduce more schools and characters. Schools will usually be introduced before their actual debut issue. The next page on will be all the skirmishes.
Cassino Girls High School
"Italian Trickery"
Description:
Cassino Girls High is a relatively unknown school in regards to how well they've performed in Sensha-dou. Their Sensha forces are very close knit and operate in a small unit of six tanks and sixteen members. They are sometimes called the Italian Dozen by other school and often beaten very early in practically any competition. This is due to their very weak arsenal and small numbers compared to others. Cassino gets its namesake from the Battle of Monte Cassino, and lends its team designations to that of Italian cities like Roma or even just Cassino.
Combat Doctrine:
Cassino uses a doctrine that focuses on barrages and mobility. Leading their opponents into a trap and into fire from a support unit. The combat unit will then hunt for either the command tank or the enemies that aren't trapped. It's a deceiving trick, that depends on how fast their drivers can go and how quick their gunners can fire.
Roster
Active Teams: Six
Active Students: Sixteen
Team Roma-P.43
Team Roma consists of four members and is considered the command team of all of Cassino's tanks. They crew a P.43, the successor to that of the P.40 "Heavy" Tank. The team is usually located in the center of formation. They are strong fighters but ultimately, the tank is fragile with weak armor. Thuswise, their commander makes quick work of tactical decisions to protect themselves.

Team Sormland- Strv m/42 Medium Tank
Team Sormland is a very newly formed team, and has actually been the source of Northern Kronor's success.

Their Strv m/42 is compared to the Panzer IV Ausf A and is a hard beast to take down in most instances.
Commander/Comms: Celeste
Gunner: Katina
Loader: Mia
Driver: Kaia
Team Uppland- Strv m/41 Medium Tank

Loader: Auda
Driver: Linn
Comms: Rebecka
Team Lappland- Sav m/43(7.5cm) Assault Gun

Commander/Comms: Lovisa
Gunner: Greta
Loader: Oda
Driver: Viva
Team Varmland- PvKv m/43 Tank Destroyer
Team Varmland is a special sort of team. They work in tandem with the other teams to deliver painfully accurate shots at enemies.

Loader: Freja
Driver: Jannike

Loader: Viva
Driver: Katerina
Team Vastmanland- Strv L-60 Light Tank
Vastmanland, quite a mouthful, is a scout under the command of Halland. They are fast and rapid firing buggers, annoying opponents easily. This is due to their weak 20mm Madsen cannon, which fires quickly, but won't do any major damage.
Commander/Gunner/Comms: Astrid
Loader: Fredrika
Driver: Marana
Team Halsingland- Strv L-60 Light Tank
Team Halsingland, another mouthful, is much like their ally, Vastmanland. They annoy and scout with little concern for their wellbeing. They are equal in terms of skill, with Vastmanland, and cooperate with them to quickly draw the attention of enemy tanks.

Loader: Sofia
Driver: Vendela

Roster
Active Tanks: Eight

Team Tea- Valentine XI Light Tank
Team Tea is a fairly unique team for their school, as they are made up of Former Students(no ill will). They are a very skilled group of individuals and it comes with the training they had before they came here. With their tactical and combat skills, they are an integral part of the team.
Commander: Jasmine
Gunner: Anise
Loader: Mint
Driver: Chai
Comms: Lavender
Team Coffee- Valentine IX Light Tank

Commander/Comms: Cream
Gunner: Sugar
Loader: Milk
Driver: Vanilla
Team Biscuit- Matilda II Infantry Tank
Team Biscuit is the de-facto leader of the Infantry Tank force. They appear to have a bit more respect among their fellow students but still give that power to Tea. Their respect came earned, as the crew is deadly in their tank, maybe even considered elite. Although, the crew seems very carefree at the same time.
Commander/Gunner/Comms: Scone
Loader: Muffin
Driver: Crumpet
Team Custard- Matilda II Infantry Tank
Team Custard is a team under the command of Biscuit. As such, it should be expected that they are able to match the latter in skill. The reality is, they fall far behind but can still hold their own. The crew is very compassionate about their role, and don't give up very easily.
Commander/Gunner/Comms: Flan
Loader: Trifle
Driver: Egg
Team Cake- Matilda II Infantry Tank
Team Cake is one of the other lead tanks, there's nothing particularly too special from them. But it should be noted that the crew are former students of another school. They haven't really told anyone what that school was, but they seem comfortable enough here.
Commander/Gunner/Comms: Chelsea
Loader: Madeira
Driver: Malt
Team Pudding- Matilda II Infantry Tank
Team Pudding is another one of the newer crews, but still better experienced than Tart. Of course, they're still babysat by Team Cake, but they don't mind a whole lot. They show a whole lot of potential to the team, if they weren't so careless with their tank.
Commander/Gunner/Comms: Eve
Loader: Figgy
Driver: Summer
Team Pie- Matilda II Infantry Tank
Team Pie is another older team with the school. Unfortunately, they're usually stuck with the job of babysitting Team Tart. However, even if they don't like it, they take their job very seriously. Even if it requires all their effort to protect both of them
Commander/Gunner/Comms: Mince
Loader: Banoffee
Driver: Rhubarb
Team Tart- Matilda II Infantry Tank
Team Tart is the newest formed crew at the school. Their inexperience is rather daunting, but they make up for it in enthusiasm. This more than makes for their shortcomings, as they follow orders on the pitch and don't as easily give up.
Commander/Gunner/Comms: Gypsy
Loader: Treacle
Driver: Bakewell
Black Hussars Academy
"The Hussars of Death"
Description:
Black Hussars Academy is a very small Hungarian-themed school. Their entire Sensha-dou team/force consists of five tanks. However, the crews are well trained and can be considered elite in some standard. They've made themselves well known for their amazing display of skill yet others are terrified by their usual efficiency. Their namesake comes from the famous Hussars of Hungary and fast diving birds.
Combat Doctrine:
Much like their name suggests, Black Hussars' tactics harken back to the days of the Hussar Cavalry. Using their medium tanks, they loosely form a wedge and charge into the enemy lines at high speeds. WIth any luck, the tanks' formation will have tightened by the time they reach the enemy positions. Between their speed and formation, they will had broken the enemy lines and begin circling around tanks and firing at them.
Roster
Active Tanks: Five
Active Students: Twenty
Team Turul- 44M Tas Medium Tank
Team Turul, named after the Hungarian iconic bird, is the leading the tank. They take the head of their wedge and will not divert from their position until they've broken the enemy lines. Considered the calmest under fire, they are well rounded in skills that led to knockout of many teams.
Commander/Comms: Csilla
Gunner: Aniko
Loader: Eva
Driver: Cili
Team Kite- 43M Turan III Medium Tank
Team Kite is an assisting tank to Turul. They have very similar skills to the other teams in their forces. Willing and loyal to the end, they won't back down until they've been knocked out. They are skilled with hit and run, diving in quickly and out for another run.
Commander/Comms: Ema
Gunner: Felicia
Loader: Iren
Driver: Jolan
Team Griffon- 43M Turan III Medium Tank

Commander/Comms: Edit
Gunner: Katalin
Loader: Lujza
Driver: Tunder
Team Buzzard- 43M Turan III Medium Tank
Team Buzzard is just another assisting tank, just the same as the others. Although, Buzzard and their friends Vulture will have the priority of picking off the weaker tanks. Much like their namesake would suggest.
Commander/Comms: Etel
Gunner: Kinga
Loader: Margit
Driver: Katarina
Team Vulture- 43M Turan III Medium Tank
Team Vulture is a very skilled marksman team on the go. Much like Team Buzzard, they pick off weaker tanks. Being the newest addition to the team, they are still a valuable assist in the Hussar tactics.
Commander/Comms: Gizella
Gunner: Orsolya
Loader: Frida
Driver: Eniko
