Anti-tank Jeep
(AIS121)
includes two one-piece resin Anti-tank Jeeps with Israeli and Jordanian crew.
Each infantry battalion in the Israeli Defence Force (or IDF) had an anti-tank platoon, and each brigade an anti-tank company, equipped with either half-tracked anti-tank guns or recoilless anti-tank guns mounted on jeeps. These protected the infantry from enemy tanks, freeing the Israeli tanks to continue the offensive while the infantry mopped up.
Such an example of these types vehicles was the Anti-tank Jeep which utilised the American-made M40 106mm recoilless gun.
This arrangement was also used by the Jordanians as the M40 106mm was more than powerful enough to penetrate nearly any tank the Israelis could put on the battlefield.

Recoilless Guns
Like all recoilless guns, the M40 106mm recoilless guns had a huge backblast that revealed their position when fired making ‘shoot and scoot’ tactics a good idea.
M40 106mm recoilless guns use the Recoilless Guns rule on page 119 of the rulebook. This means that the firing team cannot fire the recoilless gun if there is a friendly Infantry team within 2”/5cm behind them, and can not count as Concealed when they fire unless they make a successful Few Against Many roll and move.
Small and Nimble
The anti-tank jeeps are so small that they can take cover in the slightest dip in the ground.
Anti-tank Jeeps save on a roll of 3+ like Unarmoured Recce vehicles.
Spotting Rifles
The crew of the M40 recoilless gun uses a .50 cal spotting rifle to score the first hit, then fires the main gun for effect.
Weapons with Spotting Rifles that did not move do not suffer the +1 to hit penalty when shooting at a platoon with all visible teams more than 16”/40cm away.
