WW2 Unit Graphics

For the Operation Sea Lion scenario, I noticed that there were quite a few spots still open for Allied Forces.

And though they'd admittedly only be "flavor" units, some of these could be interesting ideas:

Carden Loyd Tankettes
Jack Tars in Landing Order http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/attac...ding-parties-20-1939-britain-pattern-1908.jpg
RAF General Servicemen in ground defense roles
Mark II Birch Gun (Though they may have all been scrapped by that point)
GHQ Auxiliary Units
Armed Constables
 
The Behemoth!

Brian, here's the Renault UE, together with a couple of lash-ups the Germans made by sticking a French 47mm or PaK 36 AT gun on the toolbox behind the driver. Apparently they could only be crewed by standing behind the vehicle, which sounds a bit naff. Not sure if the French did this themselves with their 47mm but I've included a unit anyway. I intend to make a SiG 33 Lorraine SP gun in future, but these were 1942 conversions, so no use to you.

Didn't the British mobile gun/artillery vehicles named after various church offices have effectively standing position gunners, too? Or am I wrong?
 
Well yes of course they were standing up to fire the guns as with most SP artillery - there weren't any comfy sofas lying around for them to recline on while firing :rolleyes:

The point is they were normally inside the vehicle when firing the gun - unlike these Renault UE contraptions where they were outside, behind the vehicle...
 
Even in SP guns, artillery men had a perilous time. Protected sometimes by distance,
and light plate, but danger came from close-up attacks by hostile troops and AFVs.

Not to mention when the enemy counter-barrage zeroed in...
 
Not to mention trying to keep warm in russian winters, kinda hard to do when there's no roof. Can't imagine their crews were particularly effective during those brisk January mornings.
 
That's what they got for not packing their winter thermals and thinking their dastardly campaign will finish before xmas!

They didn't check their maps, either, and saw the USSR was a REALLY big country...
 
Here's a really simplified version of the schimmpanzer II. Reduced the size of the floats a bit and left out a few details..
