One of my favorite vehicles for Bolt Action and Flames of War, is the Universal Carrier.
From Osprey Publishing New Vanguard (Fletcher, 2005)
The Universal Carrier was a fast, lightly armed vehicle developed by the British Army to carry infantry across ground defended by small-arms fire, specifically the Bren light machine, gun, hence the name 'Bren Gun Carrier'.
Roles included carrying ammunition, towing anti-tank guns, scouting, mortars, vickers machine-gun and I have seen .50 cal guns.
In my collection, I have two carriers which are tows for 2x6pdr guns
1 is painted as a Queen's Own Rifles carrier with an added bren for AA.
Three carriers are painted as infantry carriers.
I've also picked up 7 Universal carrier variants which will consist of mortar carriers, Vickers MG, flamethrower variants as well.
