Imperial Guard Armoured Companies

THE SHORT VERSION

Pete Haines, Jervis Johnson and Graham McNeill explain the organisation and battlefield role of massed Imperial armour. Squadrons, attached infantry, reconnaissance and supply vehicles enable the tanks to exploit breakthroughs but also reveal their dependence on support. Campaign accounts and commanders’ biographies show both dramatic successes and the consequences of overextension. The introduction explains how mandatory command or ace tanks and limited support choices attempt to balance the accompanying specialised army list.
