The 1911A1 boasted an incredible knockdown capability that would ensure that your enemy would go down and stay down no matter where he was hit. The weapon also had a quicker recovery rate from recoil than many service revolvers allowing the shooter to get rounds off more quickly. Weapon: Colt M1917 Revolver Type: Pistol .45 caliber Damage: 4D+1 Range: 30 / 60 / 80 Ammo: 6 ROF: 1 Description: A long time standard service weapon for the US military.

Weapon: Liberator Model 1942 Type: Pistol .45 ACP Damage: 3D+1 Range: 10 / 20 / 30 Ammo: Single Shot ROF: 1 / 2 Description: A cheap, mass produced one shot weapon intended to be airdropped to resistance groups in enemy held territory. Not very effective at long ranges, but could be a useful backup in a pinch. Weapon: Smith & Wesson Model 10 “Victory” Type: Pistol .38 S&W caliber Damage: 4D Range: 15 / 30 / 45 Ammo: 6 ROF: 1 Description: Another popular revolver in use throughout the war.

Type: Rifle .30-06 Springfield Damage: 6D Range: 150 / 300 / 550 Ammo: 20 box ROF: 10 Description: The Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) was a standard automatic rifle in use by many troops throughout the war in both the European and Pacific theaters. The M1918A2 was re-designed to be fired in full automatic only but with an adjustable rate of fire. The ROF listed here is the maximum. Weapon: M1 Garand Type: Rifle .30-06 Springfield Damage: 5D+2 75 / 325 / 800 Range: Ammo: 8 stripper clip ROF: 16 Description: The M1 Garand was the main semi-auto rifle issued to frontline US troops. It was designed as a replacement for the aging Springfield M1903 bolt action rifle. Weapon: M1 Carbine Type: Rifle .30 carbine Damage: 5D+1 Range: 65 / 300 / 600 Ammo: 15 or 30 box ROF: 20 Description: The M1 Carbine is a semi-automatic rifle used by troops throughout the war. It was originally designed for troops in the rear, paratroopers and support personnel to replace the heavier M1 Garand. Weapon: M2 Carbine Type: Rifle .30 carbine Damage: 5D+1 Range: 65 / 300 / 600 Ammo: 15 or 30 box ROF: 20 Description: A selective fire version of the M1 Carbine. Weapon: Springfield M1903 A1 Type: Rifle .30-06 Springfield Damage: 7D Range: 150 / 400 / 800 Ammo: 5 stripper clip ROF: 1 Description: Introduced in 1903 as the main frontline combat rifle for US troops, this bolt action weapon remained in service throughout World War Two as an effective weapon for sniping.

Weapon: Thompson M1 “Tommie Gun” Type: SMG .45 ACP Damage: 4D+2 Range: 35 / 75 / 110 Ammo: 30 box ROF: 30 Description: A cheaper design of the M1928 Thompson. It had a slower rate of fire and reduced ammunition capacities and a horizontal fore grip in place of the pistol type. Weapon: M3 “Grease Gun” Type: SMG .45 ACP Damage: 4D Range: 60 / 125 / 200 Ammo: 30 box ROF: 10 Description: The M3 was designed as a cheaper, mass-produced sub-machine gun to replace the standard Thompson “Tommie Gun”. It got its name from its similarity in appearance with an automotive grease gun and an oil reservoir in the pistol grip. The M3 was not as efficient as the Thompson but its inexpensive production in large quantities outweighed any drawbacks. US Machine guns Weapon: Browning M1919A4 / A6 Type: Machine Gun .30-06 Damage: 7D+2 Range: 125 / 475 / 1,000 Ammo: 250 belt ROF: 12 Description: The M1919A4 was a light machine gun used by infantry troops in great numbers throughout the war.

Weapon: Browning M2 HB Type: Machine Gun .50 caliber Damage: 9D Range: 200 / 725 / 1,830 Ammo: 100 belt ROF: 3 Description: The standard heavy machine gun in use by US troops. The weapon has a slower rate of fire than the lighter Browning 1919, but packs a heavier punch with each hit. It was dubbed the “Ma Deuce” or simply fifty cal by the soldiers who used it. The weapon is typically fitted on aircraft and ground vehicles, but can also be mounted on a tripod for use by ground forces.

The Minimi is used by many western allied countries. The longer reload time reflects time it takes to let the barrel cool down and then change.

  • Twilight 2000
    TWILIGHT 2000 Twilight 2000 is a Role playing game set in a fictional future, one where World war 3 began in the late 1990's and eventually slipped into a nuclear exchange changing society as we know it. The players assume the roles of survivors trying to live through the aftermath of the war. Twilight 2000 was published in the mid 1980's by Game Designers Workshop who unfortunately closed their doors in the early 1990's. The copyright was purchased by Tantalus, Inc but there are no stated plans to revive the game. Despite the lack of any new material from a publisher the game continues to expand through the players on websites such as this. This is my contribution to the game, this site will be in a constant state of change, I plan to add material as I get it finished. This will include new equipment, optional rules, alternate game backgrounds and other material as it accumulates, currently I am working on source material for a World war 2 background, but I also have been completing some optional rules of my own as well as modern equipment.

  • Mg 34 and Mg 42 Machine Guns
    MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS MC NAB © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS McNAB Series Editor Martin Pegler © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 4 DEVELOPMENT 8 The ‘universal’ machine gun USE 27 Flexible firepower IMPACT 62 ‘Hitler’s buzzsaw’ CONCLUSION 74 GLOSSARY 77 BIBLIOGRAPHY & FURTHER READING 78 INDEX 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION Although in war all enemy weapons are potential sources of fear, some seem to have a deeper grip on the imagination than others. The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun.

    page 1 INTRO.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE MICROMARK ARMY LISTS These army list cards do not include points values, which means that they can be used with any rules system, whether or not points values are used with that system. Whilst designed for table top battlegroup games, these lists are also intended as historical reference notes for use in conjunction with reference books that describe battles. Very often in the latter case exact details of forces used in such battles are not given, and these lists are designed to give the user at least some idea of forces available. Also, for those gamers that love fielding hordes of King Tigers, SturmTigers, 150mm guns and flamethrower tanks, which historically were not very common, these lists detail the level and the percentage chance of such heavy equipment being available. ARMY LIST LAYOUT List number DIVISION TYPE Dates Theatre of operations Morale & Training values 1. Teeth Arm This section details the infantry, armoured, and cavalry battalions that form the bulk of the division, as well as the divisional recce battalion. 2. Brigade Support This details the combat elements of the brigade and regiment HQs along with any support platoons and companies held at this level. 3. Divisional Support This details the maximum available support units held at division level, which are normally parcelled out as support to teeth arm units. 4. Notes This details allocation of radios and infantry anti-tank weapons, and any other specific comments relevant to that division. Some lists are called provisional - these lists are based on limited information, such that the number and type of regiments and battalions reportingSample to division are file usually accurate, but lower level details may not be so accurate, but are sufficient for wargaming purposes.
