USMC Disston Tractor Tank
Notes: This little beaut was essentially a Disston tractor with a armored hull and open-topped turret slapped on top of it. Although it didn't see any real action, this thing would make a great vehicle for a pulp adventure or some early war game.
Date Introduced: Mid '33
Users: US & Afghanistan
Vehicle Chart: Don't have a vehicle chart for this monster so just shoot from the hip on this one.
Crew: 4 (commander/loader, gunner, MG gunner & driver)
No Radio: The Disston is not fitted with a radio and will suffer the No Radio penalty as noted in the BGWWWII rules.
37mm Gun: The Disston's 37mm gun fires both AP and HE rounds.
Riveted Construction: The Disston has riveted armor and will suffer as such if struck at the appropriate locations by enemy fire. Any non-penetrating hits to a location with rivets or bolts will force any crew that might be at that location to take an immediate D column hit. Apply any effects as normal with the exception of any MC or Suppression results will be considered -1 action for the effected crewman for the remainder of the battle. Apply what locations are covered by this rule via the WYSIWYG rules.
Open-Topped: The Disston has an Open-Topped turret that will suffer as such when taking enemy fire from elevated positions or if under HE templates.
Poor Cross-Country Mobility: The Disston suffers a +2 to all Bog Checks while in any rough ground.
Commander as Loader: The commander acts as loader for the vehicle's 37mm gun and cannot be Commander Exposed in the same action as they load.
Wargaming Piece: Don't know of any Disston's so if you do or you make your own let us take a look.
