MC: Tanks using Snorkels

[scarletto7]

Carrying on with the snorkel theme, the WP placed great reliance on capturing bridges,and certain airborne units as we know were tasked with this, the sole reason was because of the capability of their snorkelling vehicles. It was rubbish :)

The films they produced showing snorkelling tanks was as has been said stage managed, not for Nato, but more for their own side (look at us we can do anything) and by that i mean their 'Allies'. Which is why so much was tied into Bridge guard and Demolition tasks for Nato troops. For us 'cold war warriors' how many river bank guards did you do compared to bridge guard?? If like me it was none, that shows you how much we feared snorkelling tanks :happy:

In the games of modern campaigns,would make more sense adding it as a variable/what-if, along with the fact that all Nato Hqs would be found by lousy radio comms, one exercise held in 81? a troop of boy soldiers spent a week on a hill, and found out everything from 90% of units, all supposedly on radio silence!!!
