Vickers' utility tractor for VBCW?
« on: April 14, 2013, 04:22:43 AM »
Just saw this item in the Belgian section over at the bolt action site: http://www.warlordgames.com/us-store/bolt-action/belgian-army/belgian-vickers-utility-tractor.html

Seems like this thing has some very definite VBCW potential!  lol

I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

... and so it should, the tractor was the standard means of hauling around the Vickers Gun, or other similar tasks, in some regiments of the British Army, prior to the introduction of the various infantry carriers. The British version was unarmoured, but other than the 'armoured cowl', looks the same as the Belgian version.

Tractor, Light, GS Mk.I was the official British title. There was also another version, the Mk.Ia (HS) which had fold down side panniers to seat passengers, was faster and originally designed for the 'mechanised cavalry' units.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

A metal box on treads.  The designers must have been working over time. :)
