Eine Scwhimwaggen bitte


Recommended Posts

Please for any FI vehicle pack. Pretty Please. Normandy gets all the toys and love.

(And maybe a few civilians with assorted Allied/Italian/German weapons guns for Partisan scenarios. Instead of flamethrowers[though if you throw those in I won't complain.]

Even Herman the German thought they were waaaay cooooolllll. :cool: (Probably took up the whole front seat.)

We talked about this in the Normandy forum. It was thought the amphibious capability of Schwimmwagens, Seeps, and Dukws wouldn't likely be used in an upfront combat situation but LVTs, assault boats and rafts could be. So while I think Schwimmwagens are cool, I think, like motorcycles, the temptation to use them ahistorically would be great.

Tempestzzzz,

I think you should have the Schwimmwagen and so argue in the thread Sequoia mentioned. How about the Flammpanzer III? Read a long time back about a thunder run some of these made through a village in Italy. GIs urgently needed a garment change subsequently! The Kettenkrad would be great. With a trailer, even better. The baseline vehicle could tow things like the Puppchen, 2 cm Flak 38, Pak 36/38 and even 40. As noted in the amphib vehicle thread, there were DD Valentines and DD Shermans in the Italian Campaign.

As for partisans...

The pants are a must have.

These guys look suitably motley.

These guys have truly scary firepower.
