The 2nd Armored Division was raised on 15 July 1940 under the command of Major General Charles L. Scott. Later that year Scott was promoted and com-mand of the division fell to one Brigadier General George S Patton. The division trained hard, prompting Patton to boast that the 2nd Armored Division would be ‘Hell on Wheels’ when it met the enemy. The nick name stuck.

• 8x M4 Sherman Tanks • 3x Stuart Tanks • 1x Rifle Company HQ • 2x Rifle Platoons • 2x M10 Tank-destroyers • 1x M8 Greyhound Armored Car • 2x Jeeps • 4x 105mm Howitzers • 10x Unit Cards
