Mortars are good, and thanks for the Owen gun variant.
I foresee a few days of updating icons and maybe tidying up some scenarios.

It was not known to me, but the Bren Carrier, its variants and derivatives were built in more than 100 000 units, which makes this vehicle possibly the most produced in the Second World War. Of course, it was used everywhere by many (if not all) Allied countries... Besides, the Germans captured many Bren Carriers in Norway and France, and put them to good use. One variant they developed was an antiaircraft vehicle which was just a 2 cm Flak38 gun mounted on top of the rear section of the vehicle. The Bren Carrier was named Fahrgestell Bren 731(e) by the Geramns, and that AA variant was the (rather understandably) "Fahrgestell Bren 731(e) Flak 38"... The icons depicted here are the desert colored ones...

Hi Guille. Hope you are well as it has been pretty quiet on this thread for awhile. I'd like to ask a favor.

I'm looking for an icon that I think you might have made of one of those "believe-it-when-I-see it" units. It is the SdKfz 254; a hybrid tracked-wheeled vehicle. It was originally designed as a light artillery tractor and later used by the Germans as a scout car. Do you have such an icon in your library? If so, I would appreciate it if you could post it here. :)

That is one funny vehicle.

Not a very elegant vehicle... :-)
But here is the set of icons for the Sdkfz 254 observation vehicle, made in the wheeled and tracked modes (switches). There were 140 vehicles of this model produced, and they served in the East front and in North Africa. Enjoy!!

A very interesting story in which one of those vehicles participated, quoting Wikipedia:

The freedom tank
In 1950 the former mechanic Václav Uhlík from Líně in the Czech Republic found the wreck of an RR-7 artillery tractor. He repaired and rebuilt the machine as an armoured carrier. On 25 July 1953, with seven passengers in the vehicle, he got through three border zones including wire obstacles, and penetrated thirty kilometres into West German territory. There he applied for asylum and emigrated to the United States, where the machine was exhibited as the "freedom tank" (Czech: tank svobody). Today it is owned by a private collector.

Thank you, Guille! Truly not an elegant unit. :D

But what really interests me is the earlier light artillery tractor version for the Austrian army. I'm curious if I can make an organic transport that can be switched depending on the current terrain and ground conditions. Now that I have an icon, there's no reason for procrastination. :roll:
