Title: Equipment not in Army Lists
Post by: Cuachiqueh on 08 June 2019, 10:43:18 PM
Hi,

I was wondering if there would be a pdf or other file that will contain equipment or troop types not currently in the Army Lists.

For example, I couldn't find the Soviet Model 1927/1943 regimental 76.2mm infantry gun. I think that this would be a Support unit - would it have the same stats as the German le.IG 18?

I also didn't see the Marder I listed. Is it not in the Army Lists, or did I overlook it?

Jim

There are likely to be many (lots) of bits of equipment not in the army lists and I suspect that even after the initial round of errata or additions to the lists, other will come to light.
The list are not intended to be 100% comprehensive. I draw your attention to Page 74 top paragraph Introduction.

However, there are some notable omissions and these will be picked up in corrected sets of lists - so do by all means put forward any specific omissions and we'll consider them for inclusion, as you have outlined above.

Many thanks

Mark

Mark - beware the pedant - had one very annoyed person taking me to task over giving the Russians M3 1/2 tracks instead of M5's. Ok - they only recived 2-3 M3's, and about 1000-1500 M5's, but on a small scale model you cant tell the difference. And here's one for you, the medium bomber you have in the NWE listis the B-25, it should be the B-26, 9th had far more of those. Course as far as rules go it makes no difference.

Engagement is an important part of marketing a set of rules Ian

Hadn't you worked out our clever ploy of deliberately putting errata into the rules and not including things like Marder 1's or putting amphibious Vickers light tanks in army lists other than the Dutch East Indies and Siamese lists ... it is to encourage debate, participation and discussion  ;)

Cheers

years ago I was perusing a modelling forum. Someone had made the most beautiful halftracks from the motor bttn in UK 11th Armd Div. Crew, stowage, weathering, decals... it was all there to see in glorious 28mm. They were stunning... and all M3's. I didn't have the heart to tell him.  :)
