Today sees the releases of a couple of 15mm support vehicles that are crucial for work just behind the lines. The Lynx Befehlswagen <\/em>provides command and control to German infantry units, and is equipped with the same sensor and communications suite as the larger and more heavily armoured Thor command vehicle<\/a> that serves in tank units. As an indication of how close to the front line command vehicles are expected to operate, the Lynx is equipped with a twin HSW turret for self defence and has a similar level of armour protection to the standard APC.<\/p>\n

The Polish Brzezi\u0144ski ambulance is built on the Suwalska APC hull with a raised rear cab to allow for up to six stretcher cases to be carried on wall brackets. Named for a historical recipient of the Order Wojenny Virtuti Militari<\/em>, the vehicle has everything needed to treat and stabilise battlefield casualties and transport them safely to more advanced medical facilities further behind the lines. The Brzezi\u0144ski is armoured to a similar standard as other Suwalska variants and is able to operate in forward areas under fire.<\/p>\n

SF15-303g<\/a> – Lynx Command Car – \u00a38.00

In Hammer’s Slammers<\/a>, the Lynx is used by Podele’s Lions<\/a> mercenary unit. A Lynx Befehlswagen can replace a Thor command vehicle in any detachment at a cost of +60 points. The vehicle has the same stats as a standard Lynx APC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
