Rear Machine Gun

An AFV only has a RMG. Can use it in CC ? Or it must be added to another MG to use it?

I look at the wording of A11.62, and I think I played that badly....

 

[Eagle4ty]

Like any other CC allowable MG it may attack independently or in conjunction with other vehicular MGs. The vehicle need not have another functioning vehicular MG for it to be able to be used in CC.

Thx, I have been playing that only CMG and AAMG can attack on CC for two years. The first sentence of A11.62 doesn’t look as the ASL usual wording

Per A11.62 RMGs can be used in CC. It can attack in combination with other elegible MGs or separately:

"... An AFV may combine any CMG (+1 DRM on a Narrow Street; B31.132), RMG, halftrack Passenger's FP, and AAMG FP into one or more combined CC attacks or use them separately in different CC attacks. ..."

IIRC, some RMG cannot be used along with CMG (or MA), but NRBH.

..., but NRBH.

SAY WHAT!?!? Is that allowed?!?

I would imagine a one man turret AFV.

Sure do miss Paul.

 

[Gordon]

I think we all do. The other day I was poking around trying to find out more information on a Churchill Kangaroo project and Paul would have known all about it immediately.

What was your question? I have Ellis & Chamberlain and some other references that might be able to help.

Was looking at the same topic.

Might have been generated from the Ram Kangaroo thread.


Tank Chats mentioned the Churchill Kangaroo.

If so it would be in Ch H notes and I surely couldn't say without checking the specific notes for the vehicle in question. If you're speaking of using the RMG ILO of the MA during an OVR (perhaps what you're thinking of) this can be done. There may be a vehicle with a MA MG and a RMG & in that case one or the other could be used but not both I believe.

Tank Chats is what got me wondering how far along the Churchill 'roo project went and whether or not it was fielded and if so, what sort of numbers.

I just remember the narrator commenting on the superior climbing ability of a Churchill tank as being the reason for wanting a Ram variant.

I'll see what I can find that Wikipedia doesn't already have....

That would seem to have merit, I suspect you are all familiar with the Longstop battle where the Germans were surprised by Churchills having climbed an "impossible" slope.

So I have "British and American Tanks of World War Two" which I guess is the Ellis and Chamberlain that you, @Michael Dorosh were referring to? It lists an experiment with a Centaur Kangaroo, the Priest and Ram Kangaroos and Sherman III conversions in Italy to the Kangaroo pattern, but surprisingly nothing on a Churchill Kangaroo.
