 Introduction
The d66 Table is a random generation table, crewed by two brave six-
sided die and ready to serve the Motherland! Using these tables, much
stress can be avoided by tank crews, as these clever systems, designed
by top Soviet Roleplaying Engineers beyond the Ural Mountains, allow
the automation of previously difficult choices which could paralyze a
man with indecision!

The Operation of the d66 Table is simple, and will pose no great
challenge to the clever Soviet crewman. To employ a d66 Table, simply
select the relevant table using the Table of Contents, and acquire
two six-sided die of different colours. Designate one die the “10s”
and the other the “1s”, and roll them both on a hard surface. Then,
compare the results of the dice to the charts to get your results!

d66 Tables can be employed in any situation and any weather. In the
unlikely event of dice shortages, one can roll the same die twice to
get each number. Under no circumstances should you attempt to roll
on a d66 chart using a die with fewer or greater than six sides. This
could cause irreversible damage to the charts, and put your life, and
the lives of your comrades, in jepordy!

This book contains generation charts for missions, vehicles, crew

members, features, complications, and obstacles. However, they are
no subsitute for the revolutionary imagination of the Soviet fighting
citizen. These tables are to be used only in creative emergencies to
avoid becoming complacent. Commissars have been ordered to monitor
citizen-soldiers for signs of d66 Table abuse.

Under no circumstances can you allow these charts to fall into

the hands of the Fascist. If you are threatened with capture or
your position is to be overrun, these charts are to be immediately
destroyed with any means avaliable.

 Allied Tanks
# Result
MEDIUM TANK M3 Lee
11 An ungainly American tank with a hull cannon and a small turret, you can
invite ten of your infantry friends along for the party. Close friends.
7TP LIGHT TANK
12 A heavily armed Polish light tank of the early war. Some had two turrets
with machine-guns, because that makes sense.
LIGHT TANK MK VII TETRARCH
13 A tank so light, they ended up using it more like an armoured car. Crew of
just 3, for those small games.
M4A3E2 JUMBO SHERMAN
14 A potent solution to the “exploding” problem was to simply add another inch
of metal to every surface.
TANK, CRUISER, MK. VIII. CROMWELL
15 This British Cruiser is fast, well armed and tough, but about as high-
maintenance as your last girlfriend.
UNIVERSAL CARRIER
16 Less a tank and more a kind of jeep with treads, the Brits used this for
everything they could think of.
T-34/76 MEDIUM TANK
21 If you dont mind freezing to death in a cramped box with absolutely no
visibility, comfort or division of labour, its the finest tank in the world.

22 M22 LOCUST
Small. Fast. Airmobile. Would have been a great tank... three years earlier.
SHERMAN FIREFLY
23 The British loved the Sherman, but decided it could use a little something
extra. Like a gun so big it would set the stuff around it on fire.
M18 HELLCAT
24 The bigger, badder Wolverine, with an excess of speed and a minimum of
armour. Still no roof, though.
RENAULT R35
25 A light infantry support tank with an adorable little cannon and
surprisingly thick armour.
TANK, INFANTRY, MK IV A22 CHURCHILL
It will fight them on the beaches, it will fight them on steep inclines,
26
it will fight them in the slow lane, and it will take frequent breaks for
maintenance.
LANDING VEHICLE TRACKED A-4
31 Drives like a tank, floats like a boat, the Amtank is your go-to if you need
something exploded, but it is across some water.

32 VALENTINE MKI ARCHER

Pros: 17 pounder. Cons: 17 pounder can only fire backwards.
KV-1 HEAVY TANK
33 Made of glorious Stalintanium, the shells it fires are guided by Lenin
himself from the heights of Marxs historical materialist heavens.
LIGHT TANK M24 CHAFFEE
34 After everyone else abandoned the light tank, the Americans made it work
with a big gun and Detroit steel.
TANK, INFANTRY MK III VALENTINE
35 Send your special somebody a tough, reliable British infantry tank that
carried them through the first half of the war.
TKS TANKETTE
36 The most adorable fighting machine, for if you and your only friend want to
play Hell on Treads.

MEDIUM TANK, M4 SHERMAN
41 The girl next door. Sweet, steady and reliable, and hot as all getout. No,
seriously, they have a tendency to catch on fire.

42 MEDIUM TANK, M4A3E8 SHERMAN “EASY EIGHT”

The girl next doors sexy older sister. 76mm gun for days.

M7 PRIEST
43 An American artillery vehicle with a pulpit-mounted machine-gun, capable of
delivering a sermon from 11 kilometers away

44 INFANTRY TANK MARK II MATILDA

Slow, poorly armed, and so tough they needed an anti-aircraft gun to kill it
TANK, CRUISER, COMET A34
45 The Cromwells been hitting the gym, working biceps, and downing frankly
terrifying amounts of 'roids. It's turned it into a 77mm HV-spewing monster.
SU-122 ASSAULT GUN
46 A stout little tank destroyer with a 122mm howitzer in the hull, based on
the T-34.
T-34/85 MEDIUM TANK
51 Hey, maybe tanks need things like commanders, cupolas, turret baskets and
radios. Who knew?
T-35 HEAVY TANK
52 It's bigger than a schoolbus and carries about as many people. Seriously,
the thing has more turrets than most tanks have crew members.
M10 Wolverine Tank Destroyer
53 The solution to the Sherman not having enough punch was to make a lightly
armoured version with a bigger gun. Best of all, it's a convertible.
M3 STUART
54 A sleek, modern light tank of the early war, tasked with finding danger for
the bigger tanks by running into it face first.

55 T-26 LIGHT INFANTRY TANK

Cheap, fast, flexible, and it threw the crew around like a tumble dryer.
SOMUA S35
56 A boxy French cavalry tank with the speed to break down exactly where it
needed to be.
M36 TANK DESTROYER
61 Bigger enemy tanks means bigger American tank destroyers. And they finally
put a roof on it.
HEAVY TANK M26 PERSHING
62 The sequel to the M4. Like most sequels, it cost too much, took too long and
had too many special effects.
KV-2 ASSAULT GUN
63 It's got more turret on it than most tanks have... tank, and it uses it to
carry the biggest howitzer they could conceive of.
CHAR B1
64 The French forgot what war they were fighting and built a tank the size of a
house, with a big gun in the turret and an even bigger one on the hull.
BT-7 CAVALRY TANK
65 Lightly armoured but extremely fast, these little Soviet light tanks packed
a punch above their weight.
IS-2 HEAVY TANK
66 Uncle Joe gave us a present, and it's fast, invincible, and deadlier than
anything the fascists could come up with.

11 L3/35 TANKETTE
Honestly, this two-man tankette was the best Italian tank of the war.

TYPE 3 HO-NI III

12 An enclosed tank destroyer with a 75mm gun, these never saw combat, which is
a shame, because they were really only a few years obsolete.
FIAT M14/41
13 You know it's bad when you are going into battle in a tank affectionately
known as the “Rolling Coffin”.
PANZER VI TIGER
14 Expensive, difficult to transport, too heavy for it's own good, and by far
the most feared tank in history.
TYPE 1 CHI-HE
15 A Japanese medium tank built so they could have something that would lose
less embarrassingly to the Sherman.
PANZER IV OSTWIND
16 A Panzer IV hull, an open turret, and an automatic anti-air cannon which,
like the bigger 88mm, proved just as awesome against ground targets.
PANZER III
21 About the time when the Panzers stopped playing nice and started to get
real, with a proper gun and real armour.

22 STURMGESCHUTZ III ASSAULT GUN

You didn't choose the StuG life, the StuG life chose you.
PANZER VIII MAUS
23 This 200 ton supertank would have been the most dangerous tank to ever fall
through a bridge and drown in a river.
JAGDPANTHER
24 Another in the line of “Off with the turret, on with the big gun” German
tank destroyer designs, with the toughness of a Panther and an 88mm.
LANDKREUZER P. 1000 RATTE
25 Straight up, it's a battleship with treads. Hitler hopes that if he builds a
tank big enough, maybe daddy will finally love him.
TYPE 5 CHI-RI
26 The end-war prototypes of Germany were for gigantic supertanks. The end-war
prototype of Japan was pretty much a Sherman.
TYPE 2 KA-MI
31 It's a Japanese light tank, with everything that implies, but it can dress
up as a boat and go swimming.
STURMPANZER BRUMMBAR
32 An oversized stubby cannon on an assault gun frame, designed to support
infantry by blowing up entire buildings in one go.
TYPE 100 O-I SUPERHEAVY TANK
33 Apparently, the Japanese built a four-turreted supertank and lost it
somewhere in Manchuria. There's even odds it was actually a giant robot.
PANZER IV AUSF A
34 They designed it as an oversized heavy with a stubby little gun to support
the “real” tanks...
PANZER IV AUSF H
35 ...and a few years later, it was the Real Tank, with spaced armour and a
powerful long-barreled cannon. The PzIV finally hit puberty.
JAGDPANZER 38 HETZER
36 Mien Little Panzer gives a strong showing by combining surprisingly
restrained size with a deadly little cannon for a low-profile tank-killer.

41 TYPE 95 HA-GO
For anyone else, a light tank. For the Japanese, the only tank.

BT-42 ASSAULT GUN

42 The Finnish needed their own tanks, so they did what they do best and
chopped up a bunch of Russians.
PANZER II
43 It's hard to believe the Germans invaded most of Europe in what is basically
a tracked car armed with a popgun.
TIGER II
44 What weighs 70 tons, is armed with the deadliest anti-tank gun of the war,
and is currently broken down ten miles behind the line?
SEMOVENTE 75/18
The only Italian AFV that wasn't complete garbage was actually this little
45
assault gun meant to tide them over until they could build something
terrible to replace it.
CAPTURED SOMUA S35
46 The Italians quickly realized that the only way they were going have a
successful tank design is if they stole some.

51 PANZER IV WIRBELWIND
This is the Wirbelwind AA Tank. With it's 4 20mm cannons, it wirbels wind.

PANZER V PANTHER
52 The Germans response to the T-34 was to make a copy of it, but even cooler.
The result was one of the best tanks of the war.
CARRO ARMATO P40
53 An Italian heavy tank, suffering from riveted armor. And being the same
weight and capability as everybody else's mediums.
STURMGESCHUTZ IV ASSAULT GUN
54 The bigger, badder StuG. The kind that keeps putting out albums even a
decade after it gets destroyed.

55 TYPE-3 CHI-NU
The best of the Japanese tanks, they left these at home in case of invasion.

56 TYPE 92 HEAVY ARMOURED CAR

This 3-man ultralight tank could effectively run away from real tanks.
JAGDTIGER
61 Take a Tiger II, replace the turret with a solid block, and put an even
bigger gun in it, and this is what you get.
PANZER I
62 No tanks here, League of Nations! These are just turreted, machine-gun armed
agriculture tractors!
TYPE 2 HO-I
63 A Panzer IV style support tank with a low-velocity short gun, this startling
vehicle was halfway to competent and thus was never used.
TYPE 4 KE-NU
64 The baddest Japanese tank of the war was pretty much just one of their light
tanks with a bigger turret.
ELEFANT TANK DESTROYER
65 This tank destroyer combined the deadly 88mm gun with some of the thickest
armour around. Shame they forgot to put a machine-gun on it.
TYPE 97 CHI-HA
66 Another hopelessly obsolete Japanese medium tank, this one at least vaguely
resembled contemporary vehicles.
