FULL DESCRIPTIONS OF VEHICLES
British Forces
Churchill Mk X LT
A pre-D-Day upgrade to older Churchill Mk III tanks with added armor for both the turret and hull sides, and fitting of the standard 75mm tank gun. The added armor made it more likely to survive medium caliber anti-tank gun hits at standard combat ranges.
Churchill Crocodile
The "Croc" version of Churchill VII had a flame projector installed in the hull with a fuel trailer towed behind in addition to Churchill's standard turret weapons . Effective flame throwing range is only about 100m with about 80 seconds worth of fuel. Churchill Croc uses its standard turret weapons to engage more distant targets. When targeting something within 100m of the front of the Croc the flamethrower is usually used. If the target is not directly in front you may wish to rotate the Croc to face the target before getting into range to assure use of the flamethrower.
Churchlll AVRE
One of the most unusual vehicles to see action in Combat Mission! The AVRE was used by Royal Engineer units to clear obstacles or fixed defenses. It's normal tank gun was replaced with a 290mm "Petard" mortar which could throw a 18kg (40lb) high explosive charge up to 80m. For other clearing tasks the AVRE could dismount a heavily-armed 3 man Sapper team to destroy targets and clear minefields. Note that when purchasing the AVRE as an Individual Vehicle there is no Sapper team.
Sherman Crab
One solution for mine clearing was the Sherman "flail" tank, known at the time as the Crab. It is an otherwise normal Sherman with the addition of a British-built front-mounted rotating drum with heavy chains attached. The idea was the chains would either detonate the mines or render them inoperable. Tactically three Crabs advanced to create clear lanes while the other two of the platoon provided cover with their 75mm guns. When the Clear Mines Command is used the flail operates and is usually able to detonate any mines it comes into contact with. Unfortunately, there is a chance that some mines will not be detonated, which means there's always a chance of casualties when moving units through cleared lanes.
6pdr AT Bunker
An option for Infantry and Armoured Infantry Branches is a 6pdr ATG encased in a reinforced concrete bunker, complete with crew. Although this arrangement did not exist in the real war it's a useful unit to have for Quick Battle players.
Commonwealth Forces
Priest Kangaroo
Canadian forces were the first to use fully-tracked armored personnel carriers on a large scale. The carriers were field improvisations made from American "Priest" self-propelled artillery. The guns were removed, armor added, and benches placed for troops to sit in. Special units were created to transport about a battalion of infantry into battle. As with halftracks, the idea was to get the Kangaroos in as close to combat as possible, and not deliberately expose them to enemy fire. Players that have a fully loaded Kangaroo hit by an AT round will know why the effectiveness of this tactic was debatable.
Stuart Kangaroo
Commonwealth forces removed the turrets from old or damaged American "Stuart" light tanks in order to carry small Teams into combat. They were not used by specific units, which means they are a general option for units that use Universal Carriers, armored cars, or Stuarts. This differentiates the Kangaroo modification from the Recce version, because the Recce was assigned a dedicated crew.
Stuart III Recce
Commonwealth forces often removed the turrets from Stuart light tanks in order to give them a lower profile and higher speed, highly advantageous traits for a reconnaissance vehicle. In place of the turret armament was usually a pintle-mounted .50 cal heavy machine gun. These modified Stuarts were known as Stuart Recces.
Portable Flamethrower Mk 2
Affectionately called the "Lifebuoy" by troops, due to its circular tank, the standard Commonwealth backpack flamethrower has an effective range of about 100m and enough fuel for 10 seconds of use.
6pdr AT Bunker
An option for Infantry and Armoured Infantry Branches is a 6pdr ATG encased in a reinforced concrete bunker, complete with crew. Although this arrangement did not exist in the real war it's a useful unit to have for Quick Battle players.
American Forces
Sherman Crab
The American experiments with anti-mine tanks had focused on "rollers" that detonated mines by pressure. There were technical and production delays which meant none were ready until the end of 1944. In the meantime a very small number of British flail kits were installed and used by American forces, in particular the fighting around St. Lo.
M12 GMC
Normally an off-map support asset, the 155mm M12 GMC was sometimes called up to the front lines to deal with stubborn German defenses. In particular the fortress battles along the French coast. Fully tracked but thinly armored, the M12 has good mobility and terrible crew protection. They are best used for "shoot and scoot" missions against identified and suppressed enemy strongpoints.
Flamethrower M1A1
The standard backpack flamethrower of the US Army had more fuel available to it (about 15 seconds worth) than the British Mk2, however it had about half the range. The standard tactic was to first identify the enemy target, suppress it, clear out or suppress supporting positions, move the flamethrower team into place, attack, then quickly retreat. This tactic produced good results at the expense of time and overall effort. Shortcutting the tactics tends to result in higher flamethrower team casualties and fewer positive results against the enemy.
57mm AT Bunker
US Infantry and Armored Infantry have the ability to purchase "what if" concrete reinforced bunkers containing a 57mm AT Gun and crew. These never existed in the real war, but are good options for Quick Battle players.
German Forces
Geschützwagen 39H(f) 75mm
Under the creative leadership of Major Becker, a large number of previously under-utilized captured French vehicles were converted for front line use. Building on the success of the Marder I, which was based on the French Lorraine Schlepper chassis, hulls of he Hotchkiss 39H were converted to be open-topped tank killers. A Pak40 was installed along with a new superstructure which produced a rather strange looking vehicle. They were used by Becker's own Sturmgeschutz Battalion 200, which was attached to the 21st Panzer Division. You can find these in the Armor branch's "Sturmgeschutz Battalion (mixed)".
Geschützwagen 39H(f) 105mm
Another Becker conversion was identical to the 39(f) 75mm but instead used a 105mm howitzer. Some were used as substitutes for Wespe self propelled artillery, but they were found to have decent tank killing capabilities as well. As a result most were used along side their 75mm siblings in Sturmgeschutz Battalion 200 in a direct fire role. You can find these in the Armor branch's "Sturmgeschutz Battalion (mixed)".
Grille (early)
The Sd.Kfz. 138/1 Ausf. H, or Grille, was a self-propelled artillery vehicle based on the Panzer 38(t) Ausf. H. The Grille was a Panzer 38(t) Ausf. H chassis with the turret removed and an armored superstructure added. A 150 mm sIG 33 heavy infantry gun and ammunition compartments were added within the superstructure.
SPW 251/16 Ausf. D
Also called the Flammpanzerwagen, this halftrack had two vehicle flamethrowers, one mounted on each side. Six Flammpanzerwagens are assigned to each Panzergrenadier regiment's Pioneer company.
SdKfz 135/1 150mm
Earlier in the war the Germans found success converting the French Lorraine Schlepper chassis into the Marder I tank hunter. With slight modifications the Marder I design was adapted to use a 150mm howitzer. The resulting vehicle was used as a substitute for Hummel self-propelled artillery.
Panzerkampfwagen R-35 731(f)
Large numbers of captured French Renault 35 light tanks were pressed into German service with minor changes. They were often deployed with German crews for anti-partisan duties to Italy, France, the Eastern Front, and the Balkans. However, the highest concentration was used by a Panzer battalion of the 21st Panzer Division in France.
Flammpanzer Char B-2(f)
A significant number of France's heaviest tank, the Char B-1, were captured after France surrendered. Used for various occupation duties, a handful were converted to flamethrower tanks. Effective range is about 50m with roughly 60 seconds worth of flame. These saw very little combat, but had a high profile (though limited) role in counter-attacking Market Garden landings in September. The September timeframe requires the Market Garden Module.
Flakpanzer 38(t)
A small number of Czech 38(t) chassis were used to mount a 20mm Flak 38 anti-aircraft gun. These were issued mostly to rebuilding Panzer Divisions in France as the first fully-tracked anti-air vehicle used by the Germans. It was not a success as the 20mm gun was by this time not a great weapon for combatting fast-flying fighter aircraft.
Halftrack U304(f)
Germany never had enough halftracks to fully equip its Panzer and Panzergrenadier Divisions, and replacing halftrack inventory in rebuilt units was generally given low priority. This meant that many formations in Normandy relied on truck transport instead of halftracks. The reforming 21st Panzer Division had few standard SPW 251 models for its Panzergrenadier Battalions. To remedy this, Major Becker used the large quantity of captured unarmed French U304 halftracks to create substitutes for the 251/1 (carrier), 251/3 (command), 251/7 (engineer), and 251/10 (platoon commander) halftracks. This was done by stripping the chassis and rebuilding it with an armored superstructure roughly equivalent to a SPW 250. Ironically, so many of these vehicles were converted that the 21st Panzer Division had more armored transport than most frontline Panzer Divisions.
Hummel
The Sd.Kfz. 165 self-propelled howitzer, nicknamed the "Hummel" (bumblebee), was designed to provide German Panzer divisions with mobile artillery support. Designed in 1942, the Hummel first saw major action at the Battle of Kursk in July 1943. The Hummel used the same III/IV chassis as the Nashorn, combining parts from the Panzer III and IV. On top of this chassis, an open-topped lightly armored superstructure housed a 150 mm sFH 18 L/30 howitzer and a crew of six. Although the 150 mm howitzer has a powerful high-explosive effect, the Hummel was not designed for front line combat and is very fragile when facing anything larger than a medium machine gun (and even small arms are a dire threat if they can be fired down into the open compartment!). Consequently, you should employ this vehicle carefully by not unduly exposing it to enemy fire.
Flammenwerfer 41 pack flamethrower
The Flammenwerfer 41 was a manpack flamethrower used by Germany during World War II. The flamethrower carried 28 kilograms of fuel and could fire it to a range of about 32 meters. Flamethrowers were usually operated by either combat engineers or specially formed units, and used to dislodge enemy soldiers from fortified positions that were resistant to explosives or small arms fire.
AT gun bunkers
A staple of some German fortified lines and networks, bunkers armed with anti-tank guns could pose a formidable challenge when properly tied into a defensive line with machine guns and mortars or artillery. In this vehicle pack, German bunkers can be equipped with the Pak38 50mm, Pak40 75mm, or Pak36r 76mm anti-tank guns. AT Gun bunkers are found in the Infantry and Armored Infantry branches for all nations and services, as opposed to the Fortifications branch for normal bunkers.
