Weapon Data for German Early AT Weapons in MicroArmor

Post by wolfman »

There is no data in the German Weapons tables for the PzB39 or sPzB41 in the Micro Armor rule book. I'd like to use these weapons but not quite sure how to determine range, damage, etc.

The 41 is a 2.8cm gun, 500m range.

The 39 is a 8mm round, penetrates 1 inch plate at 300 yards.

Would these weapons go on the Infantry Support stands? Seems they would not have been deployed the same as MG or Lt. mortars.

28mm sPzB.41
point value = 12
Firepower AP/HE = 5 / 2
Range AP/HE = 5 / 5
Defense = 6**
Speed = 1F
Transport Requirement = 4

The PzB39 is an anti-tank rifle and as such is included in an infantry platoon's firepower factor.

Thank You!

I hear you on the 39 but German infantry and support unit values show a "0" for AP when the 39 was effective against light armor at close range. I am thinking support unit AP of 2 at range of 100M is pretty close. I could even go for something like the British Boys ATR which I think is represented in the UK support value (AP of 1 at 100M). Zero seems very inaccurate for early light armor situations particluraly against early British armor.

Other thoughts are welcome - thank you for your ideas.

I've been asking the same question about the PzWfr.43. I don't remember who answered me, but these were stats from the rulemaster. Here's the answer that I've got:

AP 6, range 5
HE 3, range 5
DEF 6** and movement 2 (cargo capacity of 4)
15 pts cost
