the "unruly pack of Hell's Angels" is an armored Harley Davidson with sidecar, manufactured for and tested by the Belgian army, in 1939. The single prototype was left in the United States after being rejected by Belgium.

Tachanka, lightly armoured, Confederate usage possibly?

That's an Optional Rule. I'm invoking it by SSR.

This site describes it as an artillery tractor (see picture at bottom of page), but it may be confounding two different versions. It looks as though it was originally an artillery tractor but the Germans used it as a scout car.

A day late a dollar short - the story of my life. I knew both of those last two...

I think it's a bit of both, originally intended as an artillery observation vehicle in German use. The same function as the SdKfz 253 which was a CT version of the SdKfz 250.

 

[footsteps]

Some field mods added MG turrets.

Never thought about towing capability.

Guess?

Your first guess may be wrong:

1. The nearest is a Soviet OT-133 aka KhT-133, the other 2 most likely are the same, but could be T-26 m1939, early war Soviet FT tank battalions had about 20% gun tanks.
2. BT-42. A Finnish conversion of a BT-7. The turret was very greatly modified, indeed almost a new turret and mounted a British 4.5" (114 mm) howitzer,
3. Hungarian Turán 1 aka 40M Turán. Basically a slightly modified Skoda T-22 which in turn was based on the LT vz. 35 aka Pz 35(t).

 

[dlazov]

Paul,

1. is correct, they are all OT-133
2. Correct
3. Correct again
