While playing LV assault of the Stalin line I got three "things" as reinforcements that I do not know what they are. The leader was named as a flampz something while the other two were LGM-2s. They did not have any weapons. The picture is somekind of halftrack with LOTS of armor and pulling a trailer. Can anyone explain this to me?

I could be mistaken (very high probability for that

), but I think they're ammo vehicles.

Most likely the Leichter Gepanzer Munitionskraftwagen (LGM Sd Kfz 252).Used mostly in StuG units, earlier in the war.It was replaced by the Sd Kfz 250/6 in September 1941.

Hi Larry, The LGM vehicle most likely is taken from the czech OOB by the scenario designer. I also like to use this ammo trailer lot in scenarios. Usually I rename them to "LGM 252 Ammo", so the player more easily can see what this vehicle is used for.

We had some confusion about this while mega campaign testing as well: "What the hell is this weaponless halftrack for? I could rather need some Ammo truck instead??"
