Welcome to our first wave of reinforcements for Weird War Two. In this installment we give our field commanders the vehicles and aircraft that just couldn’t fit in the main rulebook. There were literally hundreds of vehicles and their variants introduced by the Axis and Allies during the course of the war, and this product allows you to field some of the weapon systems found in the early, mid, and late war periods. We’ve also added a couple of traits to be added to some of the vehicles from the main book to make them more historically accurate.

SchurzenSchurzen consisted of thin armored skirts applied to German

tanks’ sides and turrets to dissipate the force of shaped charge weapons, such as those found in bazookas and HEAT rounds. When attacked with such weapons to the side armor, the AP rating of such weapons is halved.

The following vehicles from the Weird Wars Two book should have the Schurzen trait added to them after mid-1943:

German:• Pzkpfw IIIL• Pzkpfw IVJ• StuG IIIG• Brummbar

reinforcementS: VehicleS & AircrAft

unreliAbleDespite an extensive maintenance program (or maybe because

of a lack of one), these vehicles just don’t hold up in the field very well. Whenever the driver must make a Driving check, a one on the roll (regardless of the Wild Die) indicates that the vehicle has broken down. Repairs require 2d12 minutes and a Repair roll, modified by the level of Unreliable.

The following vehicles from the Weird Wars Two book should have the Unreliable trait added to them:

German:• Elefant: Unreliable (3)• Jagdtiger: Unreliable (3)• Pzkpfw V Panther (until Fall of 1943): Unreliable (4)• Pzkpfw VI Tiger I (until mid-1943): Unreliable (2)• Pzkpfw VI Tiger II: Unreliable (3)

Soviet:• KV-1e: Unreliable (3)

flAkpAnzer 38(t) (1944)Based on the chassis of the PzKpfw 38(t), this vehicle mounted a

single 20mm flak gun in an armored pedestal mount at the rear of the hull, which could be folded down to provide a low enough elevation to engage enemy infantry. It was assigned to the anti-aircraft platoons of Panzer Divisions on both the east and West Fronts.Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 3/15; Toughness: 13/13/13 (2/2/2);

Crew: 3 (Commander, gunner, loader, driver)Weapons:

pzkpfw 38(t) (1939)When Germany occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939, it incorporated

a well-designed Czech tank into German service as the PzKpfw 38(t). It became the most widely used light tank during the early years of the war, with more than 1,400 made. For the invasion of Poland, 112 were available, while 264 participatted in the invasion of France. Over 620 PzKpfw 38(t)s entered Russia in June 1941, where they were no match for the KV-1 and T-34. Later, the hull was used as the basis for several self-propelled guns, such as the Marder, Hetzer, and Flakpanzer 38(t).Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 3/15; Toughness: 13/13/13 (2/2/2);

SturmtiGer (AuGuSt ’44)This heavily-armored behemoth was designed to provide fire

support to German infantry fighting in urban areas, but by the time of its debut the force of the Third Reich were on the defensive. Based on the Tiger I chassis, it saw service in the Warsaw Uprising, the Battle of the Bulge, and the Reichswald. It mounted a huge naval rocket launcher which fired a 770 pound rocket.

The Invader was designed as a replacement for the A-20 and a dedicated ground-attack bomber. As an attack bomber it was very fast and well armed although it arrived a little too late in the war to assume the bulk of the A-20’s role.Acc/Top Speed: 15/142; Engines: 2; Climb: 15; Toughness:

wings.Variants: The A-26C was basically the same as the B model, but

replaced the solid nose with a glass canopy.

f2A buffAlo (1939)Already obsolete by the start of the war, the Buffalo was flung

into combat against vastly superior Japanese fighters. It was slow and not very maneuverable. Pilots gave it nicknames like “Suicide Barrel” and “Peanut Special.” It was also in service with the RAF in Asia (who called it the “Beer Barrel”) and RAAF to free up Spitfires and Hurricanes for use in Europe.Acc/Top Speed: 10/122; Engines: 1; Climb: 15; Toughness:

tbd-1 deVAStAtor (1937)The Devastator was the Navy’s main torpedo aircraft before

the war. When first designed it had many technological innovations, but during the Battle of Midway it proved woefully obsolete. It was slow and proved to be easy pickings for Japanese fighters. Out of 41 Devastators launched during the battle, only 4 managed to return to their ships. The TBD was replaced with the TBM Avenger after this.Acc/Top Speed: 10/82; Engines: 1; Climb: 10; Toughness: 11(1);

The Bombay was designed for double duty as a bomber and transport and served a vital role in hauling supplies and troops around North Africa. Although technically obsolete by the time it entered service in 1939, it was an effective transport aircraft that could carry up to 24 troops. Acc/Top Speed: 10/ 77; Engines: 2; Climb: 10; Toughness:

13(1); Maneuverability: -3; Range: 2,230 miles; Crew: 6 (pilot, co-pilot, navigator, radio operator, 2 gunners)

horSA Glider (1940)The Horsa glider was the primary glider used for the D-Day

landings. It was made almost entirely of wood and towed into the air by C-47s. The pilots were usually specially trained airborne troopers (who were not always very good pilots).Top Speed: 100 (150 while under tow); Engines: None; Climb:

0; Toughness: 10(0); Maneuverability: -3; Range: Dependent on towing aircraft/ 15 – 20 miles after release.; Crew: 2 (pilot, co-pilot)

Armament: —Ammo: —Ordnance: —Notes: A fully loaded Horsa glider can be a handful to fly. A Horsa

begins losing altitude upon release (20 feet/ round). Horsa pilots must roll the lower of Piloting or Notice to locate a suitable place to land no more than 6 rounds after release. If failed, subsequent rolls can be made to find a good place to land, but each roll has a further –1 modifier (cumulative). Once committed to landing, there is no turning back. The landing roll itself is made at –1 on top of any other landing modifiers.

Variants: The Mk I could carry 25 troops. The Mk II had a hinged nose and could carry a jeep or light artillery.

The BA-10M was a six-wheeled turreted heavy armored car that was first produced in 1938 although its role as a reconnaissance vehicle was taken over by T-60s and T-70s by mid-1942. Captured BA-10s saw service with Finland, Germany, and its allies on the Eastern Front as late as 1945.Type: Armored Car; Acc/Top Speed: 5/15; Toughness:

kV-2 (1939)The monstrous KV-2 was developed in response to a rumored

heavy German tank. Weighing in at 53 tons and with a height of over 10 feet, the KV-2 could withstand anything German tanks of the day could throw at it. This heavy assault tank was slow and unreliable, but a single KV-2 held up the entire German 6th Panzer Division for

a day until it ran out of ammunition.Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 1/5; Toughness: 30/27/26

Su-76m (1942)Nicknamed ‘Suchka’ (little bitch) or ‘Golozhopiy Ferdinand’

(bare-assed Ferdinand) for its thin rear armor, the SU-76 was based on a lengthened and widened version of the T-70 tank. Well liked by its crews, this open-topped assault gun was the second most produced Soviet armored vehicle of World War II, after the T-34 tank.Type: Tank; Acc/Top Speed: 5/15; Toughness: 15/13/13(5/3/3);
