The new SAS jeeps are designed to traverse any difficult and dangerous terrain, armed to the teeth with as many machine guns as possible… a prickly foe indeed!
SAS Jeep (NW Europe)
The SAS were quick to see the potential for a rugged vehicle such as the Jeep, and in their usual manner added as many guns as it could possibly carry. As with the LRDG vehicles, these are primarily mobile combat weapons rather than transportation.
At a cost of 72 points for a Veteran Crew (come on, they’re SAS after all) this jeep comes armed with a forward facing Heavy Machine Gun and Vickers K gun as well as a rear facing Light Machine gun! All this wrapped up with the Recce special rule for a trifling 77 points. (Armies of Great Britain page 56).
SAS Armoured Jeep (NW Europe)
Upgrading the amount of weaponry, the SAS use this jeep when they know they’ll be under heavy fire, use its recce ability to sneak in and race out with plenty of firepower to deter any pursuit.
This jeep is kitted out with 5 Medium Machine Guns, 3 forward-facing and 2 rear-facing. As a 6+ soft-skinned vehicle you won’t want to go head to head with a dug in enemy, but hit and run with the recce rule will do quite nicely with this amount of firepower! Not bad for 97 points…
| Cost: | 56pts (inexperienced), 70pts (Regular), 84pts (Veteran). |
| Weapons: | 2 forward-facing LMG, 1 forward-facing LMG and 2 rear-facing LMGs. |
| Damage value: | 6+ (soft skin). |
| Options: | May replace any LMGs with Vickers K guns counting as MMGs for +5pts each. |
| Special Rules: | Recce Frontal armour: This vehicle cannot be damaged by small arms hits from the frontal arc, but will still be pinned as normal. |
