Pz IV BL (Bruckenlager_IV)
From February to May of 1940, 20 PzIV Ausf C/Ds (supposedly 4 C and 16 D) were converted by Krupp to bridge layers - Bruckenleger IVb. 16 vehicles were mounted with bridging equipment by Magirus and 4 by Krupp. They saw service in Belgium and France in 1940 with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 10th Panzer Division. In late 1940, most were converted back to regular battle tanks. I made them all Ausf D so that at least the bridge layers would have an MG.

V3.4 NEW MAP - STONNE IN PROGRESS:
V3.3 ADDED THE MAPS ROCROI AND MONTHERME:
Rocroi was built to replace the stock CC5 map Dupont shown below.
Rocroi, my 2nd map, is a fictional map built by using the strategic map layout and the adjoining maps.
Montherme, my 3rd map, replaces the map Sector25 and is based on the map shown below right
with some deviations to connect better with its adjoining maps.
