Missing Counter

[witchbottles]

The somewhat routine practice of fitting 14 PIAT projectors to a Carrier, capable of barrage discharging all 14 HEAT warheads....

We need a counter and Cptr H notes for this peculiar creature.

And from the "just missed the war" category, Matilda Projector, Hedgehog, No. 1 Mark I



7 "Hedgehog" anti-submarine projectiles (~ 30 lbs of HE each) in an armored box for use against bunkers/pillboxes.

I'm not entirely certain what they launched the PIAT barrages at, but it seems to have been a not uncommon practice for Canadian troops in action in NWE. I would say it is something that would give, say a mixed kampfgruppe with a few gun armed halftracks and maybe 1 old Pz IV, dug into some cover with a bit of infantry, or on a reverse slope to delay the Allies, a huge bit of pause to fall under such a barrage in a "recon by fire" role of shooting at anything looking suspicious before moving closer to investigate.
