TEXT: British Battle of the Bulge Supplemental Counters 
   
   
          One of the standard British anti-aircraft guns at the beginning of the war 
  was the 20 mm gun.  Considered obsolete in the later part of the war because 
  of its light caliber, it found a home in the parachute infantry because of its light 
  weight construction which allowed it to be easily towed by jeep or manhandled 
  around if no motor transport was available.  This counter represents the His-
  pano-Suize, the Oerlikon, or the Polsten gun, all of which have similar charac-
  teristics. 
   
   
         The U.S. built jeep was lend-leased to the British in large numbers and 
  used for everything.  It was usually not a prime mover except in the airborne 
  divisions where it towed light artillery and could be landed in gliders or dropped 
  by parachute.  The British parachute infantry used the jeep to pull anti-tank 
  guns up to 6 pdr, 75 mm pack howitzers, and light AA guns up to 40 mm. 
   
   
   
   
          British infantry battalions contained a platoon or two of carriers armed pri-
  marily with machine guns.  These units seemed to be used as a bit of mecha-
  nized fire support for the infantry when needed and perhaps as a recon ele-
  ment as well.  I have created a separate counter for these because they are 
  dedicated weapon platforms and should not be available for transport duties. 
   
   
   
   
          The U.S. built M-10 was also taken into British service where it was called 
  “Wolverine”.  This vehicle served on the Western Front in British tank-destroyer 
  regiments from D-Day until the end of the war.  It was gradually replaced by 
  British “home-grown” designs such as Archer, Challenger, or Achilles.
