Download Tank Riders __FULL_

I'm fairly new to BA, and I came across Tank Riders in some of the errata, which seems like a neat idea given many nations had their soldiers ride on the decks of their armored vehicles to get extra troops to the battlefield. Though from what I've seen is that Tank Riders are only a USSR unit, is that right or are other nations able to employ their own troops on the backs of their tanks? Is it a specific platoon selector or more of a general choice if available at all? I'd like to toss some guys on the back of my German tank, but am unsure if that's even a possibility.

In between playing in the Warlord staff Tank War campaign and occasionally doing some work, Daz Evans has been creating this lovely T-34/85 with some brilliantly posed Soviet tank riders. Daz explains how he went about this conversion project:

So with the arms in a realistic pose I took one figure off at a time and glued it back in place. Adding riders like this meant I had to go with a static glued turret, but that sacrifice gives a far better model, in my humble opinion!

Tank desant (Russian: , tankovyy desant) is a military combined arms tactic, where infantry soldiers ride into an attack on tanks, then dismount to fight on foot in the final phase of the assault. Note that this differs from infantry troops merely riding on tanks as a form of ad-hoc transportation. Desant (from the French: descendre, "to disembark") is a pan-Slavic general term for airborne or parachute drops and naval infantry amphibious landing operations.

The tactic was used as an expedient by the Red Army during World War II. Tank desant troops (tankodesantniki) were infantry trained in the tactic in order to offer small-arms support in suppression of enemy anti-tank weapons or enemy infantry using anti-tank grenades. After the war, T-55 and T-62 tanks were built with hand-holds for this purpose. In northern areas during winter, similar tactics were used by Soviet infantry riding the skids of aerosani or towed behind them on skis.

The tank desant tactic, like more conventional airborne and amphibious operations, was used to achieve fundamental goals of maneuver warfare: "surprise, leverage, simultaneity and interchangeability".[1]

The use of tank desant was only prescribed within the first kilometer of the forward edge of the combat area for only the simplest of tactical mission objectives, since the circumstances would be difficult for the troops engaged.[2]

Riding on tanks during actual combat is very dangerous. Tank riders are very vulnerable to machine gun and high explosive fire, and the high silhouette of most tanks would draw enemy fire. Smoke and covering fire may be used to reduce the hazards. Tank riding is mostly used when troops need to move faster than is possible on foot and there is a shortage of motor transport or armoured personnel carriers.

Usually, the infantry and their heavy weapons were assigned to specific tanks well before the execution of the mission. This allowed the infantry to become familiar with the tanks and train with the tank crews. Support platforms for the heavy weapons were sometimes attached to the tanks to allow firing on the move. Ropes were attached to provide hand-holds for the infantry. The number of infantry assigned to a tank depended on the class of the tank; the usual numbers were:[2]

Analysis of the Red Army's doctrine developed during the 1930s and documented in the 1936 Field Manual[5] shows that the cavalry arm was expected to perform in the role of the supporting dismounted infantry and this was repeatedly displayed during the operations on the Eastern Front through use of the cavalry mechanized groups. The idea of using infantry tank desant was, however, retained in the 1942 Field Instructions for the infantry (battalion).[6]

Almost universal mechanization has, in theory, rendered this tactic mostly obsolete among the more advanced armed forces, with infantry riding special-purpose armoured personnel carriers or infantry fighting vehicles into battle. The use of active protection systems (especially hard kill types such as Arena) and/or explosive reactive armour, which creates a danger zone around an armoured vehicle by detonating an explosive charge when the tank suffers a serious hit, along with gas turbine engines in some tank designs, with their extremely hot exhaust, makes tank desant generally a dangerous and undesirable alternative.

Soviet soldiers also adopted the tactic of riding the roofs of their BTRs (armoured personnel carriers), BMP-1s, BMD-1s, and, more rarely, tanks. During the Second Chechen War and other local conflicts of the post-Soviet era, the units of the Russian military and law enforcement acquired the tactic, making it a routine. However, riding outside the vehicles is still prohibited by Russian military doctrine, so it is not used during training and maneuvers.

The old Warlord Games tank rider figures are pretty cool. However, anyone who has tried using them in a game will probably agree that they are not very practical, especially the ones standing up. They just fall over and off the tank all the time. And the whole idea is that they will ride on the tank, which means youll be moving the whole set around, right?

To give ou an idea of what im looking for, I want to put tank riders on my stug. As if they were sent as infantry support for the stug. Is this something that exists or should I look for normal infantry? Heres some pics of wht I mean.

I just finished my Hat tank riders atop the Airfix Stug III There are four more poses in the set but I don't have any room for them. I'm just posing them to see what they look like in a photo. I think the figures are fine; some reviews find them a bit thick. Painting 1/72 figure is an exercise in paint and repaint and touch-up, repeat as necessary.

Cincinnati Metro and Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) riders can now use cash to purchase mobile tickets for bus trips thanks to the launch of a new stored value option across the EZfare payment system.

The poses are, needless to say, mostly of men sitting, so they could just as easily be in some form of lorry or other transport. All are quite relaxed and hold themselves and their weapons in a variety of natural-looking ways which we thought well done. Perhaps the most obvious question is what do they look like when riding a tank, and the answer is pretty good, as demonstrated by these figures riding a Churchill. Also included in the set, and pictured in our second row, are a couple of men kneeling plus two tank crew, both part way through a hatch to one degree or another. Some really nice poses.

The two tank crew both wear berets and the head-and-shoulders-only individual also has goggles. Naturally there is not much to see in terms of uniform on this part-figure, but the other wears a tanker oversuit with details on the legs omitted as the figure is intended to be perched in a hatchway. This pose looks peculiar when seen in isolation as it is here, but looks fine on a tank.

As we have said, modelling troops on the march like this is becoming very common, and these are particularly nicely posed figures. This set offers something new to those looking to depict a column on the move, and is an interesting way to enliven and decorate tank models. This is a very welcome and appealing addition to the range of World War II Brit infantry already available.

shouldn't there be more troopers in the back?

Undersize section, seven instead of ten perhaps?

As Steve said, maybe coming back & the rest of their mates are with the field ambulances?

Or perhaps the bloke who put the model together didn't want to repeat any poses, & they are all going under a canopy anyway? ;)

Also the HaT tank riders aren't really designed to bunch up in a lorry or halftrack.

However, they have shown on Facebook some WIPs for some special passengers for Soviet tank riders. As of right know they have several different variations in the planning stages, including the famous padded winter uniforms and a couple with sniper rifles, we all know that there are Soviet snipers of legend.
