  • GURPS WWII Classic
    World War II raged from the deserts of North Africa to the jungles of the South Pacific, from the mountaintops of the Alps to the beaches of Normandy, across (and under) the high seas, and through the skies above it all. Soldiers in all of these places relied upon the machines of war: bombers, fighters, tanks, jeeps, ships, submarines, landing craft, and much more. GURPS WWII: Motor Pool has a huge variety of historically accurate vehicles from mankind’s greatest conflict. Many of the vehicles were common; others were rare or even unique. From the stodgy General Lee tank to the earliest helicopters and the wildly impractical Maus, Motor Pool has tons of new gear for every GURPS WWII player. Motor Pool also gathers in one place all the refinements to the vehicle design system that have evolved since the original corebook came out, as well as a new system to describe any WWII-era conveyance in a few simple steps. These additions include scores of new weapons to be fitted on your war machines – some historical and some products of the imagination. On top of all that, Motor Pool has advice on S how to integrate vehicles into a roleplaying T E campaign, with details on how vehicle crews V really lived and fought, from the difficulties of E supply to getting their machine moving at all.

For examples that required stacking of three or more units in a single hex, we have displayed the coun- ters at their true size relative to the hexes. For all other examples, we opted to display the counters as oversized in order to make their stats more visible. This seemed like the best way to present the information. I apologize if the two side-by-side methods are at first a bit jarring for the reader. All of the following examples assume it is a day turn with unlimited LOS. 20.1 Loading and Movement In the German Action Phase, the German panzergrenadier infantry company in 0718 wishes to move to 0411 (indicated by British control marker) but does not have enough MPs. The half-track unit in 0315 is an inde- pendent transport that qualifies to move this panzergrenadier infantry company (and note that it does not have to belong to the same company as the infantry to qualify, per 4.5.2). However, the half-track unit does not wish to enter 0411 itself because it could be fired upon by the British tank troop to the north (ARC via Movement Trigger) that has LOS to that hex.

    THE BATTLE FOR NORMANDY Johann felt far older than his 21 years when he looked at his men. They were all good lads, and loyal, and they’d trained hard these last two months, but they looked so young and eager. What he wouldn’t give for even a dozen of the comrades that’d died on the Eastern Front last year. Still, if wishes were horses, as his mother said, and the Americans didn’t seem to want to wait, and there was no time to explain clever tactics to them now… ‘Forwards!’, he shouted, leaping to his feet, sprinting for the hedgerow. Camouflaged soldiers rose from the dry summer grass on both sides, charging alongside him as the enemy machine- guns opened fire, bowling half a dozen over. With their bloodlust up, that was never going to stop them. Moments later, the young soldiers were following Johann’s example, brutally laying about themselves with submachine-guns, grenades, and sharpened spades, clearing the enemy position.
