Wow, this is Fantastic. Many thanks for uploading this Olicana.

If people find this interesting then may I also suggest this site https://vickersmg.blog/manual/ which has a whole raft of WW2 (and other periods) training Manuals.


Also Olicana may I suggest contacting them as I'm sure they would love to have this on their site as well.


Phil.

James, thanks for taking the time to make this available to us!

Over the years, it's come up at times in our armor games, of how efficient our selecting game targets has been in comparison to actual combat practice - we need not worry that we've been too precise in picking targets (after reading the targeting protocols laid out in your resource here), as long as we don't get too "sticky".  ;)

Love this line .....it must be remembered that successful tank gunnery is the final act of battle.

FAOB - sounds like great title for some new set of WW2 armor rules!
