Fieldmarshall Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 I just bought "Death Traps" a couple weeks ago (cool book) and was reading about the Paderborn patrol with the many King Tiger tanks, and how they made the crew abandone the tank by firing White Phospherus Shells(incinderies (DUH)) Why dont the Allies get incindery weapons like phospherus shells to smoke out the enemy, or Molotov cocktails for the Volkssturm...I can name a million uses for white phospherus...Lighting victory cigars, igniting treelines, buildings and ammo stores in tanks....does BTS have an answer? -Fieldmarshall [ 07-24-2001: Message edited by: Fieldmarshall ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 Pg. 67 of you Combat Mission manual and the FAQ thread both contain answers to your question about White Phosphorus. If you can get the search to work you might turn up other threads as well. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 WP, (another one is canister for the Stuarts) are missing. Though there are voices of dissent, my reading leads me to believe WP was fairly common and used as an offensive weapon in addition to smoke.
