Are Wasps ever going to make the lineup?


Recommended Posts

KR,

Grog laurels to you! Combat debut of Wasp was OPERATION TRACTABLE, 14 August '44, per Hart's Clash of Arms, p. 357.

By the end of November '44 there were 192 Wasps in service in NW Europe.

I think, given the numbers of Crocodiles available (550 conversion kits in toto available for Europe), three regiments deployed, a very good case could be made for bringing in the Wasp. The ratio is instructive. At the crossing of the River Senio in Italy, 20-26 February 1945, there were 28 Crocs and 127 Wasps in the fight. That's from "Burning down the House" at the European version of the ubiquitous tank game's forum. Very good article on Crocs.

Regards,

John Kettler

I asked in another thread if the Vehicle pack has sold well enough to justify another Pack but perhaps as Fizou says it's too soon to tell. The Wasp would be an important addition. I don't care about the Goliath. I don't know if there's enough important vehicles left to cover for another pack to consist mainly of vehicles. Even in the "Vehicle Pack" we got had more than vehicles in it.
