Warlord Games Bolt Action 1:56 Scale WW2 US M8/M20 Greyhound Scout Car - 402013005The M8 Greyhound was a popular and successful 6x6 armoured car that served American and British armies well throughout the war.

Its crew of four served a 37mm gun, a co-axial .30 Cal, with the more aggressive crews adding a .50 Cal on the roof for anti-aircraft and local defence.

It was used by the US army in Italy, Northwest Europe and the Pacific in the latter theatre its 37mm gun made it an effective tank destroyer

the role for which it was originally designed. 

Replacing the armoured turret for a fixed, open fighting compartment, the M20 scout car was used primarily as a command vehicle

sacrificing the turrets main gun in favour of extra radio capability.

In games of Bolt Action both variants are armoured cars (DV 7+) that can be included in Armoured Platoons.

The M8 has a light anti-tank gun, coaxial MMG and option to add an HMG, the M20 has an HMG.

Both vehicles benefit from the Recce special rule.
