Reinforcements:
Vehicles & Aircraft
Welcome to our first wave of reinforcements for Weird War Two.
In this installment we give our field commanders the vehicles and
aircraft that just couldn’t fit in the main rulebook. There were literally
hundreds of vehicles and their variants introduced by the Axis and
Allies during the course of the war, and this product allows you to
field some of the weapon systems found in the early, mid, and late
war periods. We’ve also added a couple of traits to be added to some
of the vehicles from the main book to make them more historically
accurate.
Schurzen
Despite an extensive maintenance program (or maybe because
of a lack of one), these vehicles just don’t hold up in the field very
well. Whenever the driver must make a Driving check, a one on the
roll (regardless of the Wild Die) indicates that the vehicle has broken
down. Repairs require 2d12 minutes and a Repair roll, modified by
the level of Unreliable.
The following vehicles from the Weird Wars Two book should
have the Unreliable trait added to them:
Schurzen consisted of thin armored skirts applied to German
tanks’ sides and turrets to dissipate the force of shaped charge
weapons, such as those found in bazookas and HEAT rounds. When
attacked with such weapons to the side armor, the AP rating of such
weapons is halved.
German:
•  Elefant: Unreliable (3)
•  Jagdtiger: Unreliable (3)
•  Pzkpfw V Panther (until Fall of 1943): Unreliable (4)
•  Pzkpfw VI Tiger I (until mid-1943): Unreliable (2)
•  Pzkpfw VI Tiger II: Unreliable (3)
The following vehicles from the Weird Wars Two book should
have the Schurzen trait added to them after mid-1943:

Sturmtiger (August ’44)
Flakpanzer 38(t) (1944)
Based on the chassis of the PzKpfw 38(t), this vehicle mounted a
single 20mm flak gun in an armored pedestal mount at the rear of the
hull, which could be folded down to provide a low enough elevation
to engage enemy infantry. It was assigned to the anti-aircraft platoons
of Panzer Divisions on both the east and West Fronts.
Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 3/15; Toughness: 13/13/13 (2/2/2);
Crew: 3 (Commander, gunner, loader, driver)
Weapons:
•  20mm (turret)
Ammo: HE 1,040
Notes: Heavy Armor, Open-topped, Tracked
PzKpfw 38(t) (1939)
When Germany occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939, it incorporated
a well-designed Czech tank into German service as the PzKpfw
38(t). It became the most widely used light tank during the early years
of the war, with more than 1,400 made. For the invasion of Poland,
112 were available, while 264 participatted in the invasion of France.
Over 620 PzKpfw 38(t)s entered Russia in June 1941, where they
were no match for the KV-1 and T-34. Later, the hull was used as the
basis for several self-propelled guns, such as the Marder, Hetzer, and
Flakpanzer 38(t).
Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 3/15; Toughness: 13/13/13 (2/2/2);
Crew: 3 (Commander/gunner, loader, driver)
Weapons:
•  37L47.5 (turret), MG37(t) (turret front—use MG34 stats)
Ammo: HE 30 AP 60, 7.92mm 2,750
Notes: Heavy Armor, Tracked
This heavily-armored behemoth was designed to provide fire
support to German infantry fighting in urban areas, but by the time
of its debut the force of the Third Reich were on the defensive.
Based on the Tiger I chassis, it saw service in the Warsaw Uprising,
the Battle of the Bulge, and the Reichswald. It mounted a huge naval
rocket launcher which fired a 770 pound rocket.
Type: Transport; Acc/Top Speed: 2.5/7; Toughness: 39/25/25

Model 89 “Chi-ro” (1932)
Nakajima Ki-27 “Nate” (1937)
The Chi-Ro was the first mass-produced Japanese tank design. It
was slow and heavy and unable to keep up with motorized units to
which it was attached.

Only a few of these 150mm howitzer equipped self propelled
guns saw combat in the Philippines. The howitzer was mounted on a
Model 97 chassis, and was protected from the front by a gun shield,
but afforded no crew protection to the sides or rear. Only 25 were
produced.

A-26 Invader (1944)
The Invader was designed as a replacement for the A-20 and a
dedicated ground-attack bomber. As an attack bomber it was very
fast and well armed although it arrived a little too late in the war to
assume the bulk of the A-20’s role.
Acc/Top Speed: 15/142; Engines: 2; Climb: 15; Toughness:
14(2); Maneuverability: -1; Range: 2,200 miles; Crew: 3 (pilot,
2 gunners)

Ordnance: Up to 4,000 pounds
Notes: Can carry 16 2.75-inch rockets or 8 5-inch rockets under
wings.
Variants: The A-26C was basically the same as the B model, but
replaced the solid nose with a glass canopy.
The Devastator was the Navy’s main torpedo aircraft before
the war. When first designed it had many technological innovations,
but during the Battle of Midway it proved woefully obsolete. It was
slow and proved to be easy pickings for Japanese fighters. Out of 41
Devastators launched during the battle, only 4 managed to return to
their ships. The TBD was replaced with the TBM Avenger after this.
Acc/Top Speed: 10/82; Engines: 1; Climb: 10; Toughness: 11(1);
Maneuverability: 0; Range: 435 miles (with torpedo), 716 miles
(with bombs); Crew: 3 (pilot, gunner, torpedo officer)

Ordnance: Up to 1,000 pounds OR 1 x Mk VIII torpedo
Piper Grasshopper (1930)
Also known as the Piper Cub, this light aircraft was used as a
trainer and observation plane by the U.S. throughout the war. It was
easy to maintain and fly, and could fly from almost any flat stretch
of land.
Acc/Top Speed: 10/37; Engines: 1; Climb: 10; Toughness: 8(0);
Maneuverability: +2; Range: 250 miles; Crew: 1 (pilot)

F2A Buffalo (1939)
Already obsolete by the start of the war, the Buffalo was flung
into combat against vastly superior Japanese fighters. It was slow and
not very maneuverable. Pilots gave it nicknames like “Suicide Barrel”
and “Peanut Special.” It was also in service with the RAF in Asia
(who called it the “Beer Barrel”) and RAAF to free up Spitfires and
Hurricanes for use in Europe.
Acc/Top Speed: 10/122; Engines: 1; Climb: 15; Toughness:
11(2); Maneuverability: 0; Range: 965 miles; Crew: 1 (pilot)

The Valentine was another infantry (I) tank. It could take on
light German armor but was ineffective against heavier enemy
vehicles. Like the Matilda, the Valentine later served as a test bed
for engineering developments while newer tanks took its place at the
front.

Bristol Bombay Mk 1 (1939)
The Bombay was designed for double duty as a bomber and
transport and served a vital role in hauling supplies and troops
around North Africa. Although technically obsolete by the time it
entered service in 1939, it was an effective transport aircraft that
could carry up to 24 troops.
Acc/Top Speed: 10/ 77; Engines: 2; Climb: 10; Toughness:
13(1); Maneuverability: -3; Range: 2,230 miles; Crew: 6 (pilot,
co-pilot, navigator, radio operator, 2 gunners)

Optional 2 x .303 cal (8mm) MG, left and right beam
Ammo: 800 x .303 cal (20 bursts)
Ordnance: Up to 2,000 pounds
Notes: The rear gun was removed after 1941.
Variants: Can be fitted with seats for up to 24 passengers.
Horsa Glider (1940)
The Horsa glider was the primary glider used for the D-Day
landings. It was made almost entirely of wood and towed into the air
by C-47s. The pilots were usually specially trained airborne troopers
(who were not always very good pilots).
Top Speed: 100 (150 while under tow); Engines: None; Climb:
0; Toughness: 10(0); Maneuverability: -3; Range: Dependent
on towing aircraft/ 15 – 20 miles after release.; Crew: 2 (pilot,
co-pilot)
Armament: —
Ammo: —
Ordnance: —
Notes: A fully loaded Horsa glider can be a handful to fly. A Horsa
begins losing altitude upon release (20 feet/ round). Horsa pilots
must roll the lower of Piloting or Notice to locate a suitable place
to land no more than 6 rounds after release. If failed, subsequent
rolls can be made to find a good place to land, but each roll has
a further –1 modifier (cumulative). Once committed to landing,
there is no turning back. The landing roll itself is made at –1 on
top of any other landing modifiers.
Variants: The Mk I could carry 25 troops. The Mk II had a hinged
nose and could carry a jeep or light artillery.

BA-10M (1938)
The BA-10M was a six-wheeled turreted heavy armored car that
was first produced in 1938 although its role as a reconnaissance
vehicle was taken over by T-60s and T-70s by mid-1942. Captured
BA-10s saw service with Finland, Germany, and its allies on the
Eastern Front as late as 1945.

Notes: Heavy Armor, Tracked
KV-2 (1939)
The monstrous KV-2 was developed in response to a rumored
heavy German tank. Weighing in at 53 tons and with a height of over
10 feet, the KV-2 could withstand anything German tanks of the day
could throw at it. This heavy assault tank was slow and unreliable,
but a single KV-2 held up the entire German 6th Panzer Division for
a day until it ran out of ammunition.
Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 1/5; Toughness: 30/27/26

SU-76M (1942)
Nicknamed ‘Suchka’ (little bitch) or ‘Golozhopiy Ferdinand’
(bare-assed Ferdinand) for its thin rear armor, the SU-76 was based
on a lengthened and widened version of the T-70 tank. Well liked by
its crews, this open-topped assault gun was the second most produced
Soviet armored vehicle of World War II, after the T-34 tank.
Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 5/15; Toughness: 15/13/13(5/3/3);

Notes: Heavy Armor, Open-topped, Tracked
T-26S obr 1939 (1931)
The T-26 was considered one of the best tank designs of the
1930s, and was used during the Spanish Civil War, as well as the
Winter War with Finland. Although obsolete at the beginning of
World War II, this light tank was thrown into battle against the
German invaders at the start of Operation Barbarossa. It was the
most numerous tank in the Soviet inventory, and variants were used
until the end of the war.
