Webwing Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Guess what we've included in the new Market Garden Module, that didn't take part in the battle, because we felt was too cool to hold back for a future Pack? --------- 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Lee Irked Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 M18? Maybe... dunno the cut out is not right unless you altered it slightly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juri_JS Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 M36 tank destroyer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 My guess is M24. Wiki says the first 34 of them arrived and began service with the US in November of 44 so in the time frame. The images on the page might fit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M24_Chaffee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 BTW if someone guesses correctly are you going to tell us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I am going with Ian. Chaffee! I hope. I love those little tanks! Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Lee Irked Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The Chaffee is probably correct it just seems to me the barrel looks a bit long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 They already said the Crusader AA so that can't be it. My guess is the M-18 Hellcat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The Chaffee is probably correct it just seems to me the barrel looks a bit long. I was thinking the same thing about the barrel but I think it's the angle of the pic. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedorf81 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 M36, arrived in September '44 on ETO according to Wikipedia, but wasn't at Market Garden as far as I know. Surely no Chaffee, as I see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttorneyAtWar Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Its definitely a Hell Cat! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yeah, I guess that make more sense given the dates each arrived in Europe. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Well, I'm assuming that the OMG module really covers the western front in September-October 1944, therefore any prominent fighting vehicles that were used at that time should be included in the module. My guess is M-18 based on profile. M36 should be included in the games as well IMO but I wont hold me breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Lee Irked Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I think the "too cool" comment makes me lean towards the M-18. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It's the Haunted Tank with accompanying Ghost of General Stuart. That's way cooler than the Hellcat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 My guess is M-36. The M-18 may not have taken part in operation Market Garden, but it was in action in Normandy from July onward and therefore could have been included in the base game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 heh... a little more uncertainty than I thought there would be. Well done Webwing for the unusual perspective that allowed for some uncertainty Pak40, Well, I'm assuming that the OMG module really covers the western front in September-October 1944, Not a good assumption First, the timeframe for the entire Normandy Family stops at September. Nothing introduced after September is being included now or in the future. The next Western Front Family takes things from October through the final days of the war. Second, Market Garden is really and truly focused on Market Garden and not the entire front. Future Packs will expand the Normandy Family's component pieces for the entire June-September timeframe. The first Pack is almost definitely going to contain the much requested "Funnies" and oddball stuff that the Germans threw at the Allies in the early days of the landings. Which ones specifically are yet to be determined. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword56 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hmmm...The Crocodile tank was "funny" and threw fire. So one might surmise that if the first pack contains Funnies, there's now a greater possibility that fire may be coming to Normandy, and that it would be sooner rather than later (??) Let the wild speculation begin... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 First, the timeframe for the entire Normandy Family stops at September. Rats that mean I am wrong. No Chaffee for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 After Steve's comments I'm re-thinking about it being a Hellcat and am going with something else that would really be way cool and that would fit in an Airborne centered module- the Tetarch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Now that would be cool. But I think it is the Hell Cat. Which is cool too. But not a cool as the Tetarch would be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 It's not a Tetrarch -- chassis shape is totally wrong. The combination of the imprecision of the cut-out masking and the viewing aspect do make it a bit hard to tell... based on the body shape, I'd say it's Hellcat. Date of introduction would favor Hellcat as well. While AFAIK no Hellcats participated in OMG proper, they were definitely in combat in the ETO by the time of OMG -- amongst other engagements, Hellcats played a prominent role in the battle of Arracourt, which happened contemporaneously with OMG. The only thing that makes me second-guess is that there's no muzzle brake -- in every in-theater picture of a Hellcat I've ever seen, the gun sports a large, prominent brake. But perhaps Webwing removed evidence of the muzzle brake to give us some sport; if the muzzle brake were there, it would definitely rule out the M24 and also probably the M36. AFAIK, the M24 never had a muzzle brake. I've seen a few images of an M36 with a muzzle brake on the gun, but images without are much more common. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
