Barbarossa
Operation Barbarossa began a struggle of epic proportions that would
result in four years of bitter fighting between the Germans and Soviets.

The new T-34 tanks were issued to a
number of tank divisions in the mechanised corps, and the Germans began
to run into them within the first few days of the invasion. The T-34
caused the Germans to often avoid direct engagement with this
well-armoured tank and powerful 76mm gun.

The T-34 obr 1940 was armed with the 76mm L-11 gun, with its distinct bulb above the barrel mounting. However, the ballistic performance of the L-11 was far from satisfactory and once production of the L-11 ended in 1939 later production models of the T-34 were fitted with the superior 76mm F-34 gun.
|
 |
 |
Fast Tank
Tanks based on Christie’s design are built around exceptionally
powerful engines and flexible suspensions and can really move when the
throttle’s opened up.
Fast tanks can move up to 32” / 80cm At the Double. However, they still only go 12” / 30cm during normal movement.
|
 |
 |
Limited Vision
In order to pack more into small tanks, some tank designers reduced the crew to a minimum and severely
limited the number of vision devices. Thus, the tanks require the
commander to operate as a somewhat vision-impaired gunner as well.
Tanks with Limited Vision add +1 to the score required to hit when shooting any weapon except an AA MG at
targets that are entirely behind a line drawn across the front of the
tank’s turret before they rotate their turret to face the target.
Tanks with Limited Vision must rotate their turret to point straight ahead when they move. |

The T-34 obr 1941 was armed with the superior 76mm F-34 gun. With its introduction the L-11 quickly become a footnote in history. The F-34 was enjoyed a great barrel length; 42 calibre in length compared to 30.5 calibres of the F-11 and thus improved muzzle velocity and armour penetration. However, with the introduction of the tanks such as the Tiger and Panther the 76mm F-34 was rendered obsolete.

Unreliable
Whether poorly designed, unsuitable for the conditions, or requiring
more maintenance than current supply considerations will allow, these
vehicles have a significant chance of breakdown when pushed too hard.
If an Unreliable vehicle attempts to move At the Double, roll a die. On a roll of 1 the vehicle becomes Bogged Down.
|
Wide Tracks
Some excellent tank designs have successfully utilised wider tracks, allowing them to cross almost any terrain.
If a vehicle with Wide Tracks becomes Bogged Down while
attempting to cross Rough Terrain, roll again. On a roll of 4+ the
vehicle immediately frees itself and continues moving. |
