"A Weight Question?" Topic

I'm planning to add a few vehicles and towed pieces of equipment of the WW-II minor powers not covered in the "Equipment Data Sheet" but I cannot find anywhere in the "Command Decision" rules were it states what class I, II, III, IV, V or VI would be for the maximum tonnage of weight of vehicles and towed pieces equipment.

In the "Combined Arms" rules it dose give an explanation of a basic conversion table.
Very Light up to 3 tons
Light up to 8 tons
Medium up to 20 tons
Heavy up to 40 tons
Very Heavy Heaver than 40 tons

As there are six Weight classes in "Command Decision" and five in "Combined Arms" it is not a simple flip-flop.

If anyone could give me a page number or a general idea of what basic tonnage per class I-VI are it would be great.

Thanks in advance.

There is no rule on what weight class vehicle can tow. The equipment charts (at least in Command Decision) state how many bases (1,2,3) can be carried and what size gun (I, II, III, IV, etc) can be towed.

I know that.
My Question is, as an example it a PzKw VIe Tiger is a VI weight class vehicle.

Then how would you find out a basic tonnage rating for lets say any of thee following vehicles:
Dutch /German Polizei-PzKw ADGZ
Hungarian 40M Turan 1

Its not that hard to find the real tonnage of a historical vehicle. Its a matter of having a bases of what tonnage ratting would be for of the class I, II, III, IV, V or VI.

The current version of the rules (Test of Battle) has this information in section 12.1.2 on page 37.

Class I up to 1.5 tons
Class II up to 3 tons
class III up to 9 tons
class Iv up to 20 tons
class V up to 36 tons
class VI over 36 tons

Thank's williamb.

I have the 2nd edition so it dose not cover it.

Thank's.
