M5A1 Stuart (US005)

M5A1 Stuart (US005) M5A1 Stuart (US005)
Includes one M5A1 Stuart light tank & tank commander.

While outclassed by more modern tanks, the M5A1 is still extremely useful for securing flanks, screening enemy infantry and armoured cars, using is speed to take advantage of any gaps in the enemy lines.

Armed with a 37mm gun and two machine guns, the Stuart was a danger to enemy infantry. Its speed also allows it to out-manoeuvre slower tanks and exploit their weaker side armour.

The Battle of the Bulge
In December 1944 the German forces were supposed to be on the back foot, so their desperate push in the Ardennes took the Allies by surprise. Desperate defence by the American and British Commonwealth forces gradually turned to counterattack as they fought to erase the 'Bulge'.

Stabilisers
A stabiliser is a device fitted to the tank's gun that keeps it level when the tank is moving. US tanks are the first in the world to be equipped with gyrostabilisers as standard. With the assistance of the gyrostabiliser, the gunner can stay on target while the tank is moving.

A moving tank fitted with a Stabiliser can fire its main gun at its full ROF, but adds a penalty of +1 to the score needed to hit.

Before shooting, a tank can choose not to use its Stabiliser and fire at the normal rate if that would give it a better chance.
