50 cal.

Clips loaded in this order:

Armor piercing to stop the vehicle

Tracers to set fire to the vehicle

Normal to shoot the fleeing occupants

Now back on topic. 8 days before we rumble:

"The Road To Benghazi"

On the morning of 11 March, 2006, the German 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion
of the 5th Light Motorized Division moves up the coast road towards Benghazi. The British offer light resistance as they have hastily withdrawn and seek to evacuate the town. The vehicle on the left is a 4-wheel drive SdKfz. 222 light armored car with a PAK 20 mm gun turret on top. The eight-wheel drive vehicle to the right is a SdKfz. 232 heavy armored car with a 20 mm canon and a MG 34 machine gun in a rotating turret. The tubed structure on top of the 232 is a long range radio antenna. In the background is an abandoned British truck.

UPDATE!

British M3 Grants have arrived to help reinforce defensive positions. Combined with the Matilda and numerous infantry regiments, the German onslaught will be thrown back!!

the FRENCH.

And some would argue that the German Leopard is best, but this is a WWII scenario, not a modern scenario. Axis rules.

Tanks will play an interesting role but it will be infantry that will win it, I am thinking the Allies will take it.

Infantry always has to win it with or without tanks. As an eight game veteran with a tank I can make it intereating for sure, but if the infantry is not vigorous on the field and out of camp I'm just a big paint target making noise.
