Not all the jeeps were wrecked. The 'special' jeeps with the twin machine guns were ambushed en-route to the bridge iirc.

I seem to recall Maj. Hibbert (I think that was his name) I think he was called talking about them having problems after the 6pdr ammo ran out at the bridge.

6pdrs were modified to be loaded into a glider, which also made the jeep towable. 1 glider had gun 1 glider had tow 1 glider had extra ammunition

I've got all of this already by buying it separately over a couple of months last year, but this does look like excellent value for money. They remain on my pile of opportunity right now, their time will come! Great unboxing vid, thanks.

Attempts to fire a captured Japanese 'knee' mortar by bracing it against the knee resulted in a broken leg, apparently. The strange scoop shaped base was for jamming it into the ground.

Yeah doesn't seem smart to me.

John Baskeyfield won a posthumous VC using a 6pdr Anti-tank gun at the battle of Arnhem knocking out several tanks. He was a Lance-Sgt in the South Staffordshires, part of the Airlanding brigade, they had 6pdr Anti-tank and the light 75mm American Howitzer amongst their equipment.

Indeed.

Great video👍. I know what you mean about templates potentially adversely effecting team weapons on diorama bases. But to be fair the guys have to be within 1" of the mortar so can't spread out much anyway....but the benefit of templates comes with your infantry units. You now have the choice to spread out a bit, to make you more survivable. In V1, a unit got hit with 3/4 x D6 from a heavy howitzer etc, it was very dead. So didn't matter if you were spread out or in a tight formation. I think its better now in that respect and troops wouldn't really run-around tightly packed.

I just don't like spending time worrying about where every soldier is exactly - and really dislike how big an impact on the game it has. It is the kind of 'nadgery' game mechanic I try to avoid. But that's just me. - Kaiser

I do believe that the 6pdrs arrived by glider.
