One of ten or so M5 Halftracks to transport my two motor platoons around. They look cool barreling across the table but generally I’m to scared to use them particularly effectively. The round taken to drop off their troops along with the rest of the time on the table top exposed to artillery and everything else with with a reasonable sized gun gives me the willies, and I don’t mean of the jeep variety. Only two of my models have the machine gun ring so as to denote them as the lead vehicle. The british don’t seemed to have bothered to fit MG’s to most of their M5’s or at least that’s Battlefronts belief. Pity as that might encourage me to keep them on the field rather than scuttling off at the first opportunity, often dumping their troops without even moving. meh they’re reluctant, they’re allowed to be a pack of pansies but still, aside from a modeling exercise they’re not particularly effective. Used Micro Sol to apply the decals, awesome stuff in making the decal conform to the hinges and creases on the bonnet. Can’t recommend the stuff highly enough.
