M60 Upgrade

 

When we play a NATO vs Warsaw Pact wargame we are already playing a form of alternate history.
So why not go a little farther and add vehicles that never saw service.
In this case the M60 tank with the Abrams turret is a vehicle that was tested and found feasible.
So it's not as if I was making up some strange new vehicle.
It is not unlike using a Maus in a WWII game.
Germans only built a few and none likely saw combat service.
I have four Maus tanks in my collection, one platoon.
So one platoon of upgraded M60 tanks does not seem unreasonable to me.
Given that 15,000 M60 series tanks were produced, 5 unusual ones is not a statistically significant number.
