Where were 1/2 ton Dodges employed in combat?
Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2006 3:56 am
I am almost reeady for my WC 7 to take it's maiden trip after restoration.
I am now thinking about the map board, which is in great shape.
What I want to do is get (hopefully) are 1:25,000 maps of areas of operation wherver it was clear that 1/2 ton dodges were employed.
From various comments on this forum it appears to me that the 1/2 ton dodges were employed in North Africa, and various locations in the Far East.
In order to limit my research I am going to focus on North Africa.
I would appreciate any and all comments about (first) whether I am correct in concluding that 1/2 ton dodges were in fact employed in North Africa. If so then (second) which areas/campaigns in North Africa were most likely to have these vehicles employed.
I figure I will sift through the comments in rsponse to these question sand then focus on finding maps that cover the most appropriate area for consideration.
I think it will be cool to have a map of a specific area, covered with acetate and with grease pencil markings of tactical positions. A great teaching vehicle if I can pull it off correctly.
So, please give me your thoughts so I can move on to the next stage.
Thanks in advance.
