WWII equipments in T2K

[Nowhere Man 1966]

I think there are DUKW tours in London as well, and there are a couple of DUKW's in Paris afaik, working as river buses. The Royal Marines were using some until recent times as well, posssibly still are.

We have DUKW tours here in Pittsburgh too.

In my T2k game the largest number of them in use are with the 1st brigade 49th Armored. They acquired about 90 of them (plus signifigant spare parts) while passing through the Wisconsin dells in early 98. My morrow project also uses them around the great lakes and some major rivers.

Edit Paul according to Wikipedia the Russian BAV 485 is also close.

With the main difference being a sliding ramp at the back of the BAV.

I know there is a tank museum in Warren, OH, off of State Route 62, just outside of Youngstown, OH. IIRC, most of their stuff like tanks and jeeps are operational. At the "Wings Over Pittsburgh Airshow," they come every year and have a display there. I've see their M3 Stuarts and Sherman tanks.

Do you have a name for that museum I have failed to google it so far. I tend to spend a lot of vacation time in NE Ohio or NW Penna., so that appeals to me.

I'll see what I can find. I might have it in one of my books on the airshow we have every year.

OK, I believe I have found it, Google Earth is your friend although it runs slow on this old 400 MHz, Pentium II.

Google Earth actually works on that

Remember, the Soviets were famous for never throwing anything away. It's been said that they had thousands of T-34s, along with JS-IIs and -IIIs, in storage "East of the Urals" in war reserve. In T2K some of that stuff might find its way to Central Europe. Ditto for tanks like the T-44 and the early T-54, along with APCs like the BTR-40, -50, and -152. ISTR on the web somewhere that the last Russian exercise in which JS-IIs took part was in 1995, and no, this wasn't a parade or WW II victory event, it was a real exercise.

Yep, and thus I use them in my games fairly often as a means for ivan to reform units, or to replace losses or for newly formed units.

Thank you! I've added it to my "To-do summer" file. I'm already planning a trip the Armor/Patton Museum at Ft. Knox this spring break.

I'm sure I've read that a lot of old tanks got made into pillboxes on the Chinese frontier in the '60s.

The Chinese and North Koreans are also known for that.
