Essentially
a modified M8, the M20 lacked the main gun afforded to the Greyhound. The
M20 served primarily as a command car for all the Allied armies. When deployed
with tank destroyer teams, the M20 served as an observation post. After
the war, the M20 remained in Europe assigned primarily to the U.S. military
police.
Lacking
the main gun of the Greyhound, keep the M20 grouped with the infantry. There
it can serve as a light defensive vehicle. While the M20 still retains a
bazooka for self-defense, they are only effective at very close ranges.
In a way, you can think of the M20 as a very mobile machinegun/bazooka team.
However, since the M20 is a vehicle, it doesn't receive any of the concealment
bonuses that infantry teams do.
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
