IPA Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 I'm working on a historic scenario which contains a couple of Jeep towed Polsten Guns. My rudimentary understanding, is that these were fairly light weight anti-aircraft guns (20mm, 450 rpm) that could be also be employed in a ground role. I'd be grateful if any of the grogs could give me a more detailed description of Polsten Guns, their armament, range, specs, etc and also recommend the closest equivalent available in CM. Thanks in advance. IPA [This message has been edited by IPA (edited 01-25-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPA Posted January 26, 2001 Author Share Posted January 26, 2001 Napoleon1944, Thanks very much for the info. I don't think there's any thing close amongst the allied units available in CM, shame I can't substitute a German 20mm Flak. IPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
