WHO ARE THE AMERICANS
‘Men, all this stuff you’ve heard about America not wanting to fight - wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans
traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble
shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans
play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost and
never will lose a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.’

The US Army used a simple naming convention to assign model numbers to its equipment. The first type of a piece of
equipment (say a medium tank) was designated M1. If a new design replaced the old one, it would be called M2, and a third
design M3 and so on. If changes were made to a design, a suffix was added, so the M4A1 medium tank was the first variant
of the fourth design.

US tank companies are designed for mobile warfare. Once the infantry has broken through the enemy defences, its fast and
reliable tanks rush through the gap. Once in the enemy rear, they create havoc as they race for their objectives. They are well
equipped for this role having their own armoured assault guns and mortars for artillery support.

Although the M5 Stuart light tank still performs the traditional cavalry role against infantry quite well, its function has
evolved since the landings in North Africa two years ago. While retaining its ability to scout on the flanks and move rapidly to
exploit breakthroughs, it uses its manoeuvrability and speed to counteract its lack of firepower.

The Tank Destroyer Force is a new branch of the US Army formed after the devastating successes of the German Panzers in
1939 and 1940. These new units were designed to deal with the German Blitzkrieg head on, deploying highly mobile self-
propelled anti-tank guns that could be moved quickly to counter any enemy armoured thrust wherever it appeared.

Along with the tank companies, the armoured rifle companies are the backbone of the US armoured divisions. They hold and
secure the gains made by the tanks. If the tanks get held up by opposition they can’t bull through, the armoured riflemen
dismount and clear the way. Their mobility allows them to pick their fights and outflank the enemy.

German Panzertruppen (armoured or tank troops) know their panzers are at their best when attacking, no matter the
situation. Even when forced to defend, they argue that their panzers should be used for counterattack and not rendered
immobile by tying them to static positions. ‘Fire and Manoeuvre’ is their creed.

as they advance, secure behind its heavy armour. Unlike many countries that parcel out their infantry-support tanks in

British armoured regiments are expected to operate independently during the exploitation and pursuit phases of a battle. As
such, they can't wait for the infantry to catch up if they need to clear a defended town or wood on their route of advance.
That's why they have a motor company close to hand. Then, when the tanks lager for the night, or a counterattack is expected,
the motor company digs in giving the tanks a solid base on which to manoeuvre the next day.

Despite its odd appearance, the M3 Lee was an effective tank with a good balance of armour, fire-power, and mobility. The
M3 Lee was designed with two anti-tank guns, a 37mm housed in the turret and a long 75mm fixed to its hull, giving it the
option to switch guns when firing at heavily-armoured targets or soft targets.

All Flames Of War infantry and guns are supplied with
appropriate bases. Assemble your infantry teams by gluing
the miniatures into the holes on a base. Super glue works
well for this.
There are usually several miniatures with each type of
weapon, so you can create variety in your teams. It doesn’t
matter which mix of miniatures you put in each team, as long
as the mix of weapons is right.
