Flames of War: Fighting First – Armored Recon Patrol

Each Armored Recon Platoon has two patrols of four vehicles each. The US Army likes its reconnaissance units to pack a punch. The M3A1 carries three machine-guns—one .50-calibre (12.7mm) and two .30 calibre (7.62 mm) mounted on a sliding rail around the top of the passenger compartment. Before it speeds back to report on enemy positions, it is more than capable of mowing down any enemy infantry caught in the open.

Along with the Scout Cars, each Armored Recon Patrol includes two of the famous general purpose light utilities vehicles known as the Jeep. Officially named the Truck, ¼-ton 4×4, Command Reconnaissance, the Willy’s Jeep is capable of carrying men and light loads almost anywhere. Its four-wheel drive allows it to climb mountain passes and traverse deep mud, sand or snow, while its 100km/h (60mph) top speed makes it even better on roads.
