Trackpad Publishing is accepting pre-orders for their latest title in Trackpad History Series: Israeli Self-Propelled Artillery (non-Sherman-based) by Tom Gannon.

Towed guns, howitzers and a variety of mortars were used during the early years of Heil Ha’Totchanim (Artillery Corps). These weapons included homemade mortars such as a small number of the locally-designed and built Davidka (Little David), pre-World War I Napoleonchik howitzers, and ex-British QF (Quick Firing) 25-pounder guns/howitzers. Small quantities of other vintage or near-vintage pieces dating back to both World Wars, were also purchased and otherwise ‘acquired’ from various sources and used as well. In the beginning, by necessity, some of these weapons were combined with various
vehicles also obtained from multiple sources.

Having already seen the improvisations made using the Sherman tank chassis in Volume 1 and Volume 2, plus different weapon systems mounted on American-built half-tracks in Volume 3, this fourth volume looks at IDF self-propelled artillery up-to-date.

Vehicles covered here include:
AMX-105A Mk.61
M107 Romach and M110 Kardom
M109 Rochev, Doher and Dores
Sholef
Sho’t-based MAR290 Episcopi
M270 MLRS Menatetz
Lance Rocket Launcher
Alpha Cargo Carrier
