Feel Snug In The New Soviet Universal Carrier for Bolt Action
November 7, 2012 by brennon
If you need to get to the front in Russia during World War II then you might have had to get into one of these Universal Carriers. Check it out from Warlord Games for Bolt Action...
These were vehicles supplied to the Soviets by the British and they made great use of them during the whole of the war. It might not be safe from a stray Mortar screaming out of the sky but considering most people had to walk or run it forwards I bet you would be rather happy being carted around in one of these.
They could easily be mobile machine gun platforms.
What do you think of the snug carrier?
sure they could be taken out by a mortar, (grenades, a well placed rifleman, a 10 year old with a bottle full of paraffin and a zippo… ) but they were comparatively cheap and they made taking heavy stuff long distances easy.
The Germans captured some too apparently mounting field guns or Panzershrecks across the top of the engine bays.
Does it come with a conscript packing a PTRD so you can make a ghetto tank-hunter?
And there were more universal carriers built during WW2 than any other AFV.
