Quote from: Lord Kermit of Birkenhead on 30 May 2022, 02:26:40 PMLeon some of the SA lists you are intending are far too small to include. Bolivia for instance had 20 Kurrassier, around 100 assorted APC's and a few EE-9 armoured cars in 1980.

Playing at 1:1 would mean you could still have a likely scrap, without fielding the entire army every battle...

A what? <runs off to Wikipedia> Cool. Looks pretty much like an M24 or M41 hull with an AMX-13 turret would be a good proxy?


Says they had 54 in total. Also modified P-51s, but I can't (yet) find in-service dates.

If this site can be believed 1954-1978

Would make a great "pocket army", troop of Sk-105's, half a dozen mech infantry in a variety of APCs, couple EE-9's for Recce - and some Mustangs for air support :D

Fudge the dates a bit if needed ;)

It is why all the South & Central America list are at the end of the release cycle - small and will require a bit of research. That will be fine by then, as I will probably have had enough of list-bashing by then !!!!  :D

Quote from: flamingpig0 on 30 May 2022, 02:42:43 PMIf we are doing the Gulf War could we have a list for Kuwait?

My 'plan' was to create a Gulf War optional rules PDF - and we can add some of the Gulf States (including Kuwait) into that. The British, French, American main lists already go up to include the Gulf War. It will just need me to refine/update the Iraqi list as well.

Cheers

So long as we can create Panzer Group Qatar I'm happy :D

One of the Battlegroup Modern rules Comps did south American. I have Chilian and Venezulan (+possible Peruvian) Some are substabntial sized and most use nornal type kit, T54/5, AMX30, M51 Shermans. The EE-9 is a turret swap with AML90. THe Kurrassier is a 4K-4FAU APC with the AMX-13 1o5 turret. That's foir the 1980's.

Quote from: Lord Kermit of Birkenhead on 31 May 2022, 06:07:28 AMThe EE-9 is a turret swap with AML90.

Pedantry incoming! Thats only the Mk 3 IIRC. Mk1 had a Greyhound turret Ithink and was only a prototype, the Mk 2 was a Brazilian made turret, and the Mk 4 was another domestic one with the Cockerill 90mm. I m!y have the nomenclature messed up, but I have my notes somewhere from going down a very deep rabbit hole on the EE-9 at one point.

Does it mean anything in game terms? Absolutely not! Does it make me feel better about myself? Also yes!

There are ways & means of accommodating and 'harnessing' your 'pedantry' Smartbomb ... keep this stuff coming ... I'll find a use for it  ;D

Going through my own notes, there's  a lot of interesting stuff I had forgotten about:

Prototypes of the EE9 predecessor with M3 Stuart turrets, re-engining halftracks with the same engine that was used on prototypes.

Colombia upgradinh their Greyhounds to a TOW missile carrier.

A design bureau attempted to turn an M8 prototype into an multiple rocket launcher by affixing a turret loaded with old aircraft rockets from the P47.

I have about 16 pages of stuff on the EE-9 with a lot of tangential info too if you have any interest in looking at it.

Thanks for the new lists, a lot of good stuff on there. One quick question - would the Austrian Gebirgsjager have the "Mountaineer" ability?

Yes - that would seem sensible - just add 5pts to their costs and add the Mountaineer ability.
We can pick that up in a future edit.
