PIAT

Look, a couple of the – his army had a lot of good stuff, a couple of SAS Jeeps, a couple of small teams, that kind of thing.

His PIAT team.

Um, he ran it in, in the back of a Jeep, bailed it out and like proceeded just to annihilate, uh, my tanks from behind, like knock them out.

Um, so his PR team definitely did a, uh, a good heavy amount of lifting, taking out my SU-122 and a T-34 that was right next to it.

Bonus question four.

What does PIAT stand for?

Damn it.

Well, you know the AT is going to be

Go ahead.

"Bring up the bazooka." I mean, uh, "Bring up the PIAT." [laughs]

[laughs] Br- bring up the SMAW, I think it is.

Yeah.

The shoulder-launched multiple assault weapon or so- you know what I mean? Absolutely.

We, we...

No. It's, "Bring up the, the PIAT," and it's just so perfect because obviously this is a light infantry airborne trying to take on [clears throat] elements of the 9th SS Panzer Division, which is coming across that bridge.

So the whole purpose, obviously, the operation, is for Para to, to grab that bridge.

They're cheaper and they're more lethal, so let's up the ability of infantry to fight back.

So I made bazookas 10 points cheaper, Panzerschrecks 20 points cheaper, PIATs five points cheaper, because they're already pretty cheap.

Um, I made Panzerfausts, uh, five points cheaper, so just 10 points a pop.

And AT grenades, I made them one point per man.

Um, and because there's more armor and they're more effective, we need counters, so I wanna see more, uh, anti-tank guns.

And I want infantry, because they're really vulnerable, to be a threat, because we know in third edition you roll a tank up to point-blank range to some infantry, and you can absolutely just demolish them, more so with the changes that I've made.

So I wanted that infantry to be there in point-blank as a threat, whether it's AT grenades, PIATs, Panzerfaust, whatever it is, bazookas.

So they always, the tank always has to be a little bit careful about what they're going to do.

Oh, yeah.

"Bring up the PIAT," or, "We have no room to take you all prisoner." I mean, it's just-

"We have proper facilities."

[laughs]

Survivors dive behind a vehicle against the hospital wall.

A round from a PIAT sends them running for the hospital entrance.

A second brings cries of protest.

Russell's men then shoot up an approaching white vehicle.

In one, one platoon blows a hole with a piet in the upper story of the house it holds, level with the bunker, giving the flamethrower a clear line of fire.

The jet misses the bunker but detonates ammunition stored in wooden huts behind it.

In the other, the flamethrower douses the pillbox with fuel and a PIAT round ignites it.

Either way, the wooden store behind the German position goes up.
