In Flames Of War -
The S307(f) is the transport vehicle of the 21. Panzerdivision's Panzer Pionier Platoons (page 32, Monty's Meatgrinder). Each platoon can have 1 or 2 S307(f) half-tracks to transport its Pioneer MG teams.
This platoon can be field as part of a 21. Panzerdivision Panzerpioierkompanie (page 31, Monty's Meatgrinder).
The S307(f) half-track is armoured with 1 front, 0 side and 0 top. It had Half-track mobility, but is Unreliable, so be careful crossing difficult going and moving at the double.
It has a Hull MG, a Passenger-fired AA MG and an Assault Bridge. The Assault Bridge can be used to bridge obstacles, allowing trucks and half-tracks to cross the obstacle it spans (page 215, Flames Of War). |
