Defrocked Priest (x2 with Passengers)
By the end of July 1944 the US were running into shortages of 105mm howitzer ammunition and requested that British and Canadian forces stop using the 105mm armed M7 Priest to help alleviate the shortages. This left British and Canadian forces with substantial numbers of M7 Priest no longer in use, the British and Canadians having replaced them with either the 25pdr armed Sexton or towed 25 pdr guns.
In Flames of War
The Defrocked Priest is a new option available in Monty’s Meatgrinder. At the start of a game a Rifle Company from the 3rd British or 3rd Canadian Divisions can swap a Carrier Patrol for one Armoured Personnel Carrier Section for each Rifle Platoon your force has. An Armoured Personnel Carrier Section has two Defrocked Priests.
A Defrocked Priest is Fully-tracked and has Armour Front 1, Side 0 and Top 0. It is armed with a .50cal AA MG and carries 5 passengers.
