Hand Held Anti-Tank Weapons

Above is a partial listing of hand-held anti-tank weapons. A brave soul holding a British ATR, for example, shoots at an enemy tank at a range of 8-12 inches. He has a 55% chance of hitting the target at that range and his weapon will penetrate a mere 31 mm, which is compared to the armor on the hit location of the target. Even if hit, a roll of 19% or less results in a little air conditioning, but no damage. 19 to 48%, a compartment hit, which depending on where it is hit, determines if it is still mobile or can still shoot. Above 48%, the target is toast!

Close Assault - Infantry vs. AFV

Of course, then there are those who feel that they haven't lived until they have had a chance to take on a tank bare handed, or nearly so. But then there were others who "volunteered" for such exploits and were trained to hunt and destroy tanks. Take that little Kursk salient affair. The Russians had trained "Tank Killer" units that carried explosives, gasoline and a log or two to stick into treads - a German "Elefant" (who designed this thing?) gets separated from his infantry support which is definitely not good. The Elefant has a close assault defense of "10" (this comes from the back of the armor tables which I will be adding later). The TK unit easily avoids the lethal 88mm main gun, puts a log into the treads to stop it and plants an explosive charge in its treads. The squad "commander" rolls a "36" with two percentile dice thus, according to the below table, immobilizing the Elefant.
