25mm SA-34 Hotchkiss gun (FR500)
with three 25mm SA-34 Hotchkiss guns, three sets of crew, Command Rifle team, one Small base & three Medium bases.
Each infantry regiment in the French Army fielded a platoon of three 25mm anti-tank guns. These regimental anti-tank gun platoons were backed up by the Compagnie Divisionnaire Anti-Chars (CDAC), the Divisional Anti-tank Company with an additional twelve 25mm guns.
|
"The 25mm SA-34 Hotchkiss gun has a Gun
shield which means that even if you fail a Gun save, your opponent must
make a Firepower test to destroy that team. But remember, Gun shields
only provide Bulletproof cover from shots fired from in front of the
gun." |
"The 25mm SA-35 Hotchkiss gun is rated as a
Light gun, this give it 4”/10cm of movement in all terrain so be sure to deploy these guns in
positions with excellent fields of fire. You don’t want to have to move too far
to shoot at the enemy." |
 |
With an effective flash suppressor, the SA-34 guns proved very difficult to spot when fired and on one occasion, a lone SA-34 was able to take out seven German Panzers in a single engagement.
