Well if I can't solve my Login problems with my old member name I'll just have to start posting under this one LOL.I see that in addition to the Bazooka armed Jeep at Bastogne there was this Jeep with quad Bazookas at Nettunia,Italy.

Thought the armoured shield was a recognised/stanandardised/readily available attachment anyway, rather than an ad hoc conversion?

I wouldn't be surprised LOL. They were mounting those on anything that moved LOL. And of course there is the information on the Panzerfaust armed aircraft in my "Bazookas on Piper Cubs," Topic thread,

That is really cool!… Never knew. Will have to make some up for my Army Men games (CAD: Cardboard Aided Design; should be able to make up the armor plates easy enough, using cereal boxes, as well as some wooden dowel Bazookas -- fun stuff). Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

Yankee Sidkafizzes!

It looks like Bazooka Charlie was not alone. grin

I would like to add that your rules are an utter failure for not having Rules for these.

Sometimes you gotta love the ingenuity of the common soldier grin. Robert

Nice idea. I really only do eastern front but the 50% off warlord sprues a month ago saw me land 30 odd yanks and more than I would need weapon sprues. Those extra zookas now have an idea simple enough to copy.

Got them to have something else to spice things up. Off to eBay to find a jeep for about $10. USD Xmas just gets better.

Danke
