M113 Platoon
(AJOBX01-O)
includes four M113 plastic sprues and four Vehicle Commander figures.
The Jordanian mechanised infantry, called Meshah Meykaneykeyh (pronounced moo-shaht mee-kan-ik-ee-a) in Arabic, were mounted in modern American M113 armoured personnel carriers.
Their uniforms and equipment were largely Second World War surplus from British stocks, although their rifle was the M1 Garand and their anti-tank weapon the M20 Super Bazooka from the United States.

Amphibious
Amphibious vehicles are designed to swim, carrying their passengers across rivers or lakes.
Amphibious vehicles treat all Impassable water terrain as Difficult Going instead of Impassable. If Passengers are forced to Dismount for any reason while in Impassable water, they drown and count as Destroyed.
AA MG (Anti-aircraft MG)
Many vehicles are fitted with anti-aircraft machine-guns to protect the crews from strafing and dive-bombing aircraft. These are fired by the crew from the open hatches of their vehicles. Manning the anti-aircraft machine-gun during an assault invites a grenade through the open hatch if the defensive fire isn’t effective.
An AA MG has an all-round Field of Fire and is a Self-defence Anti-aircraft weapon (see page 182 of the rulebook) allowing it to engage aircraft as well as targets on the ground. However, firing an AA MG leaves the vehicle more vulnerable. In assaults a tank that fired an AA MG in this or the previous player’s turn has a Top armour rating of 0.
Anti-aircraft machine-guns can be fired at the same time as other machine-guns, but not at the same time as a Main Gun, since the commander and gun crew cannot do two things at once.
