All Rights Reserved. 1 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: Soviet: • KV-1e: Unreliable (3) German: • Pzkpfw IIIL • Pzkpfw IVJ • StuG IIIG • Brummbar Britian: • Crusader I: Unreliable (2) ields in anti-HEAT sh A JS-2 with 1944 2 Unreliable A convoy of Stug-IV ’s Germany German Vehicles 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 (23/9/9); Crew: 5 (Commander, driver, gunner, loader, radio operator) Weapons: • 380RW61 L/5.4 (turret) • MG34 (bow) Ammo: HE 14, 7.92mm 2,000 Notes: Heavy Armor, Self-defense Mortar (attacks everything in a large Burst centered on tank with 3d8), Sloped Armor (-3 to front only), Tracked German Tank Guns Type 37L47.5 380RW61 L/5.4 Range 45/90/180 150/300/600 Damage AP HE 4d8 4d6 -8d10 AP AP 3 -- HE 2 6 RoF HE Burst 3 Medium 1 Large Reload 1 action 5 actions Notes HW HW 3 Imperial Japan Japanese Vehicles Japanese Aircraft 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. Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 2.5/6; Toughness: 14/12/12(3/1/1); Crew: 4 (Commander, driver, gunner, loader) Weapons: • 57L15 (turret) • 6.5mm Type 91 MG (use stats for Model 96 MG) (turret rear) • 6.5mm Type 91 MG (use stats for Model 96 MG) (bow) Ammo: HE 60 AP 40, 6.5mm 2,750 Notes: Heavy Armor, Tracked, Unreliable (2) The Nate was the first Japanese Army monoplane fighter. It had fixed landing gear, but a fantastic rate of climb compared to other fighters of its day. It was used in China in the late 30’s but replaced by the Oscar by the time of Pearl Harbor. Acc/Top Speed: 15/116; Engines: 1; Climb: 20; Toughness: 8(0) Maneuverability: +3; Range: 389 miles; Crew: 1 (pilot) Armament: 2 x 7.7mm (8mm) MG, nose Ammo: 1,000 x 7.7mm (50 bursts) Ordnance: Up to 200 pounds Model 4 “Ho-ro” (1944) 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. Type: Self-Propelled Gun; Acc/Top Speed: 5/10; Toughness: 13/13/11(2/2/0); Crew: 4 (Commander, driver, gunner, loader) Weapons: • 150mm Howitzer (fixed) Ammo: Loaded from an ammo carrier Notes: Gunshield, Heavy Armor, Open Topped, Tracked Japanese Tank Guns Type 57L15 150mm howitzer 4 Range 75/150/300 150/300/600 Damage AP HE 4d8 3d8 -5d10 AP AP 3 -- HE 2 4 RoF 1 1 HE Burst Medium Medium Reload 1 action 1 action Notes HW HW United States TBD-1 Devastator (1937) American Vehicles LVT4 Water Buffalo (1943) Also known as the amtrac, the LVT4 was similar to the LVT2 but had a rear landing ramp. Type: Amphibious Landing Vehicle; Acc/Top Speed: (ground) 5/10 (afloat) 2.5/3; Toughness: 13/13/11(3/3/1); Crew: 6 (Commander, driver, assistant driver, 3 gunners); Passengers: 30 Weapons: • M1919 (right hull pintle) • M1919 (left hull pintle) • M2 .50 cal (right hull pintle) • M2 .50cal (left hull pintle) Ammo: .30cal 4,000, .50cal 2,000 Notes: Amphibious, Heavy Armor, Open Topped, Tracked American Aircraft 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) Armament: 6 x .50 cal (13mm long) MG nose, fixed forward; 2 x .50 cal (13mm long) MG, dorsal turret; 2 x .50 cal (13mm long) MG, ventral turret Ammo: 2,500 x .50 cal (25 bursts) 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) Armament: 1 x .30 cal (8mm) MG, nose; 1 x .50 cal (13mm long) MG, cockpit rear Ammo: 500 x .30 cal (50 bursts), 500 x .50 cal (50 bursts) 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) Armament: — Ammo: — Ordnance: — Notes: Can carry 2 passengers 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) Armament: 4 x .50 cal (13mm long) MG, wings Ammo: 1,000 x .50 cal (25 bursts) Ordnance: 2 x 125 pound bombs 5 The United Kingdom British Vehicles • Bren MG (coaxial) Ammo: AP 90, .303 1,000 Notes: Heavy Armor, Wheeled Fitter’s Truck A fitter’s truck was a mobile workshop and was assigned to most units. They carried a full load of tools, spare parts, and components and were indispensable to units operating well forward of supply bases and shops. Type: Transport; Acc/Top Speed: 10/20; Toughness: 12(1); Crew: 1(driver) Weapons: — C15 Signals Van The C15 signals van was a self-contained mobile command post. The C15 was a converted truck, with a solid roof rather than a canvas cover. It carried several radio sets, and space for a team of signalmen to work. Type: Transport; Acc/Top Speed: 5/17; Toughness: 13(1); Crew: 1(driver) Weapons: — Crusader II CS (1942, NA Only) The Crusader CS (close support) mounted a 3” howitzer to blast infantry out of their holes. Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 5/12; Toughness: 18/15/15 (6/3/3); Crew: 5 (Commander, gunner, driver, assistant driver, loader) Weapons: • OQF 3” Howitzer • Besa MG (bow) • Besa MG (coaxial) • Bren MG (commander’s hatch) Ammo: HE 65, 7.92 4,000, .303 600 Notes: Heavy Armor, Tracked Marmon Harrington Armored Car (1940) The Marmon Harrington car was designed in South Africa and served early in the North African campaign. Type: Armored Car; Acc/Top Speed: 10/17; Toughness: 11/11/11(1/1/1) Crew: 3 (Commander, driver, gunner) Weapons: • Boys Anti-Tank Rifle (turret) Sexton (1943) The Sexton was variation of the U.S. M7 Priest self-propelled artillery vehicle, fitted with a British 25-pdr gun. Type: Self-Propelled Gun; Acc/Top Speed: 5/12; Toughness: 23/13/13(11/2/2); Crew: 6 (Commander, gunner, driver, assistant driver, 2 loaders) Weapons: • 25pdr (fixed) Ammo: HE 60, AP 40, Smoke 5, .50cal 1,000 Notes: Heavy Armor, Open Topped, Tracked Valentine II (1940) 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. Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 5/14; Toughness: 16/16/16(6/6/6); Crew: 3 (Commander, gunner, driver) Weapons: • 2 pdr (turret) • Besa MG (coaxial) Ammo: HE 30, AP 30, 7.92 3,150 Notes: Heavy Armor, Tracked Vickers Light Tank (1936) This light tank was already obsolete by the start of the war, and was relegated to use as an observation platform for artillery spotters and recon units. Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 5/13; Toughness: 13/11/11(3/1/1); Crew: 3 (Commander, gunner, driver) Weapons: • 2 pdr (turret) • Vickers MG (coaxial) Ammo: HE 60, AP 40, .303 2,500 Notes: Heavy Armor, Tracked BRITISH Tank Guns Type Range OQF 3” Howitzer 100/200/400 6 Damage AP -- HE 4d8 AP AP -- HE 2 RoF 1 HE Burst Medium Reload 1 action Notes HW British Aircraft 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) Armament: 1 x .303 cal (8mm) MG, nose; 1 x .303 (8mm) MG, tail; 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.

Captured BA-10s saw service with Finland, Germany, and its allies on the Eastern Front as late as 1945. Type: Armored Car; Acc/Top Speed: 5/15; Toughness: 13/12/12(3/2/2); Crew: 4 (Commander, gunner, driver, assistant driver) Weapons: • 45mm obr 1934 (turret) • DT 7.62 (coaxial) • DT 7.62 (bow) Ammo: HE 25, AP 24; 7.62 2,079 Notes: Heavy Armor, Sloped Armor (-1), Wheeled KV-1S (1943) The KV-1S was 5 tons lighter than the KV-1 (the “S” stands for “skorostnoy” – speed). Armor was removed allowing a 3-man turret and better mobility. Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 5/11; Toughness: 22/20/20(8/6/6); Crew: 5 (Commander, gunner, driver, assistant driver, loader) Weapons: • 76mm F-34 (turret) • DT 7.62 (coaxial) • DT 7.62 (bow) • DT 7.62 (turret rear) Ammo: HE 60, AP 42; 7.62 3,000 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 (14/11/10); Crew: 6 (Commander, gun commander, gunner, loader, driver, radio operator) Weapons: • 152mm obr1938/40 howitzer (turret) • DT 7.62 (coaxial) • DT 7.62 (bow) • DT 7.62 (turret rear) Ammo: HE 36; 7.62 3,087 Notes: Heavy Armor, Tracked, Unreliable (4) 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); Crew: 4 (Commander, gunner, driver, loader) Weapons: • 76mm ZIS-3 (hull) Ammo: HE 30, AP 30 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. Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 5/12; Toughness: 14/11/11(4/1/1); Crew: 3 (Commander, gunner, driver) Weapons: • 45mm obr 1934 (turret) • DT 7.62 (coaxial) RUSSIAN Tank Guns Type 20mm ShVAK 45mm obr 1934/1938 76mm ZIS-3 76mm F-34 152mm obr1938/40 8 Range 50/100/200 Damage AP HE 3d8 3d6 AP AP 3 HE 1 RoF 3 HE Burst Small Reload -- Notes Auto, HW 60/120/240 75/150/300 75/150/300 100/200/400 4d8 4d10 4d10 N/A 8 11 11 N/A 3 4 4 8 1 1 1 1 Medium Medium Medium Medium 1 action 1 action 1 action 1 action HW HW HW HW 2d6+1 3d8 3d8 5d10 • DT 7.62 (antiaircraft) • DT 7.62 (turret rear) Ammo: HE 60, AP 62; 7.62 2,691 Notes: Heavy Armor, Tracked, Unreliable (2) T-60 obr 1942 (1941) The T-60 was a light scout tank issued to reconnaissance units. Its wide tracks and low weight made it especially effective in marshy ground, as well as snow fields. Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 5/15; Toughness: 13/11/11(3/1/1); Crew: 2 (Commander, driver) Weapons: • 20mm ShVAK (turret) • DT 7.62 (coaxial) Ammo: HE 450, AP 200, 7.62 3,000 Notes: Heavy Armor, Tracked T-70 obr 1943 (1942) The T-70 was designed to replace the T-60, with slightly better armor, a better gun, and higher speed. Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 5/20; Toughness: 14/12/11(4/2/1); Crew: 2 (Commander, driver) Weapons: • 45mm obr 1939 (turret) • DT 7.62 (coaxial) Ammo: HE 20, AP 25, 7.62 3,000 Notes: Heavy Armor, Tracked 9
