Every finlandeer out here! You MUST love BT-42.. 114mm gun, oh the sweetness.


BT-42 has only one fault; it's useless.. :P

If the BT-42 had an MG and better armor I would use it more often. Otherwise I'd rather just buy a flametank for causing lots of infantry damage. The only thing saving me in a '42 game against Redleg against his Soviets are my OT-133 flamers. Three shots of flame per turn and 60mm of frontal armor comes in handy against the endless Russian horde. :)

My Favs:

German:
Panther is the best
JagdPanther
Tiger
PzIII (oh yeah..)
Hezter
Wirblewind (good for aircraft and infantry) [:)]

Canadian
RAM tank of course!
APC - Kangaroo (I know it ain't an AFV but must bring it up anyway)

British and American
Firefly - 17 pounder is a great gun
Stuart - lots of MGs is always good for infantry support
Grant & Lee - great tanks. (To see one in action with Humphrey Bogart rent or buy 'Sahara')

Russian
T-35 land battleship - having that many guns and men in a tank is too cool.

Note: my tanks are not picked on being the best killer or fastest or thickest armour. They are picked on being on what I like. Not always a good choice in battle but oh well. [;)]

Bren Carriers: these little suckers were the workhorses of the Commonwealth forces . . .

Bran Carrier ATR also comes mounted with a Bren LMG, AND can also haul a 6 pounder ATG, which means it can move AT guns through rough terrain, and provide good security for them once they're dismounted.

There's the Bren Carrier FO as well, which is the cheapest tracked FO in the game, if memory serves. Its armour compares to the German Beob, and its Bren gun is great for suppressing enemy infantry.

Not a tank, or course, but for bang-for-buck, I can see why the Brits, Canadians, Indians and ANZACS bought 200,000 of the suckers in WWII.

Played a PBEM game against a fellow, who tought me all kinds of things about British armor.

It's amzing what you can do with Cromwells, 3" mortar tracks and AEC III armored cars. I just love them.

My new Fav is the PIVC. Just took out a T34 at one hex with an HE shell!??!

Had 2 PzIIIs pour 6 shots each into the sides of the beast from one hex with little effect. Then bang crew destroyed by the humble little PIV. [:D]

Quite a relief.

Too true, always take Bren carriers when in the allied role!
