STALINGRAD Bolt Action Mega Battle!

This rather striking looking vehicle is going to be placed in a ‘Stalingrad Armoured Kampfgruppe Reinforced Platoon’ (see Warlord’s ‘Stalingrad Campaign Book’), as the Armoured Car choice.

It is a ‘wheeled vehicle’ and can move 12″ on regular terrain, or a whopping 24″ on roads. It however cannot cross ‘rough terrain’, which makes up much of Stalingrad, and will rely on Pioneers to remove barbed wire road block. It can however move swiftly on roads, having 2 x 90% pivots per movement, so to threaten enemy small and artillery teams, and generally make a nuisance of itself.

It is armed with a Light Autocannon and a co-axial MMG. It will be great for taking out small enemy teams in cover, and critically knocking out enemy transport vehicles, and hopefully taking out some of their passengers. On occasions where the 231 cannot cross terrain, the 40″ range of it’s autocannon will give it a decent amount of long range punch to threaten enemy infantry, teams and light vehicles from a distance.

It has the ‘Recce’ special rule, which means that it can retreat out of harms way if shot at, potentially wasting an enemy units shooting for a turn.

As long as it is used in accordance with it’s strengths, and not used in an anti tank role, it should be a great asset to my Panzergrenadier infantry.
