As most main guns roll only one die, difficult shots that need, say,  a 6 or 7, are most likely to achieve nothing.  However, when are rolling 5 MG dice, you clearly have much higher chance of achieving something vs those hard-to-hit targets. And that pin may be all you need to shut the enemy down or even force a rout/morale c…[Read more]

I got the attached screenshot off Google books.

The SS Panzer Pioniere are in Campaign Fortress Budapest. Page 109

Like the Heer pioniere they can get mine clearing gear and other Pionier stuff and fanatics is in Special rules.  In real word the OOB was totally like Heer. That they use the word Sturmpionier there is ….

Thanks Lord Rao.

p.87 only mentions it in the fluff, it doesn’t appear in the selectors. however it does say they weren’t used in New Guinea, so that explains it.

Thanks to all anyway,

Yes it does: p.87 has the listing for both the 2 and 6 pounders (light and med. AT guns), referring to the British book. The same is true for most of the weapon teams.

I don’t know that there are. Perhaps you mean Sturmpioniere, which are on p.25 of the German 2nd ed. book.

Jaesen – I have the New Guinea book, the 6pdr isn’t in it.

The New Guinea book has several lists that would include the 6lber for Australia
