What are the Brit jeep crews armed with? Sten? Cheers! Edit with a semi-related question: is this an adequate stand-in for the M2 Halftrack?  |

Well if its an SAS jeep it starts at Stens and ends somewhere around .50 cals and 20mms, I think the SAS LRRP jeeps and Landrovers packed something around 4 or 5 machineguns on them

Yeah, not too worried about the armament of the Jeep itself - seems pretty straight forward. But the crews' weapons, that was a different story!
The vehicle in the pic is listed as an M3 Halftrack (oh, and it's not mine... but it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be) on the HAD website.

Yes, that would be fine. The only difference, IIRC, between an M2 and M3 is the ring mount for the machine gunner.

I got a Corgi m3 or m2? from eBay, which came pre-painted for about 35 bucks posted, i think it was?
I'll bring it next weekend anyway, it does the job

Cool. I just put in an order for an M3A1 Stuart tank (the ones the Aussies used in North Africa and Papua), an Austin truck with an open tray and an M2 half-track (HAD has them, just no pics).

There was some hefty sheetmetal differences in the crew compartment (specifically the very rear end) and some length issues for the compartment in addition to the ring mount. But since we arent playing ASL it shouldnt really matter  |
