There was no standard way of applying these stars, so feel free to have a mix in your army. The examples below are just a sample of the more common practices in terms of where the stars go, but if you’re looking to represent tanks in a specific historical battle, period photos are your friend.

Last month saw the release of Blood, Guts, & Glory, Battlefront’s new intelligence handbook covering the tank battles in the Lorraine, September 1944 - January 1945.

While the US Army deactivated its heavy armor units with the reception of the new M60 series main battle tanks in , the remaining Ms stayed within the US Marine Corps inventory until they began receiving the M60 series main battle tank. Post—World War II armies have shifted to the Main Battle Tank concept, in which a single model is expected to fulfill the breakthrough functions of a heavy tank while retaining the mobility of medium and light tanks. It may have been the unwanted 'ugly duckling' of the Army, which refrained from naming the M alone of all its postwar tanks. The M is a bit of a footnote in the history of US armour. Welcome to Wargaming.

  • LIBERTY UNIVERSITY Master's Thesis the M26 Pershing
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY Master’s Thesis The M26 Pershing: America’s Forgotten Tank - Developmental and Combat History Author : Reader : Supervisor : Robert P. Hanger Dr. Christopher J. Smith Dr. David L. Snead A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts In the Liberty University Department of History May 11, 2018 Abstract The M26 tank, nicknamed the “General Pershing,” was the final result of the Ordnance Department’s revolutionary T20 series. It was the only American heavy tank to be fielded during the Second World War. Less is known about this tank, mainly because it entered the war too late and in too few numbers to impact events. However, it proved a sufficient design – capable of going toe-to-toe with vaunted German armor. After the war, American tank development slowed and was reduced mostly to modernization of the M26 and component development. The Korean War created a sudden need for armor and provided the impetus for further development. M26s were rushed to the conflict and demonstrated to be decisive against North Korean armor. Nonetheless, the principle role the tank fulfilled was infantry support. In 1951, the M26 was replaced by its improved derivative, the M46. Its final legacy was that of being the foundation of America’s Cold War tank fleet. Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Chapter 1.
