Hey there,
I am a miniature wargamer looking to re-create a IDF army list for scenarios in tabletop gaming, so just have a few questions surrounding some the vehicles of the mid 80s.
Firstly, when did the Scorpions receive their co axial GPMG's? I can find pictures from the early 80s that show the .50 cal on the command vehicle but i can only found 1990s+ images of scorps with the GPMG's mounted.
Secondly what transport did the ranger wing use in the mid 80s? I've heard the Land Rover 110XD WMIK but also heard that this may of been used only in Liberia and was mission dependent, what generally would of been the transport for them?
And last speaking for transports in general, how was the crew selected for transports like the Panhard M3 or timoney apc? where these selected from the squads themselves which dismounted with the rest of the section or were they dedicated crew that stayed onboard?
Any replies will be much appreicated!
Cheers.
