Using Vehicles in Combat

Vehicles give the team a great advantage when fighting the enemy. The only

disadvantage is the concentration of your men in one place. This exposes all your

soldiers to the risk of being eliminated if an accident happens or if the vehicle is

hit by enemy fire. This risk is less if you can use an armored vehicle.

Non-Armored Vehicles

Using non-armored vehicles in combat should be very limited, as they’re

completely vulnerable to enemy infantry weapons. Use non-armored vehicles only

for transport, rather than in direct combat. The use of vehicles and its coordina-

tion with reconnaissance is described in the section Using Vehicles in Combat -

Armored Vehicles.

Passenger Automobiles

Used only for transport.

Jeeps

It is possible to equip a jeep with a light gun. They are fast and can go almost

anywhere, but they’re very vulnerable.

Motorcycles and Sidecars

Motorcycles are fast and maneuverable, but very vulnerable. A very effective

machine gun can be installed on the sidecar.

Trucks

If you have to fight from a truck, troops can shoot from the back of it. It is rel-

atively slow and is very vulnerable.

Armored Vehicles

Armored vehicles cannot easily be damaged by fire from infantry weapons;

they can prove to be very useful in accomplishing tasks. They are truly vulnerable

only to antitank mines or to Bazookas and Panzerfausts.

Armored Personnel Carrier

An APC protects two members of the team adequately and partially protects

the other two men against enemy fire. Moreover, it’s equipped with a heavy

machine gun and can provide the team with very welcome supporting fire. It can

only be eliminated by heavy weapons (bazookas, tanks, etc.). You will find more

information in Combat Strategy against Enemy Vehicles and Armored Equipment.

Tanks

Like the armored personnel carrier, the tank is also resistant to infantry

weapons fire and some newer types even survive fire from heavy weapons.

Controlling the gun turret is relatively simple, but steering the tank requires prac-

tice and knowledge of the machine.
