Yes, flamethrows and vehicle flamethrowers are very different. They all now must roll to hit, but ignore cover and down but taking minus to hits for movement, long range, pins and small team. 6" for infantry, 12" for vehicle. infantry causes
d6 hits, vehicle causes
d6+1 hits. +1 penetration. Flamethrowers run out of fuel on a 1.

2LT and 1LT have 6"; Captain and Major have 12".
When you activate an officer, you also activate up to x number of other units within your command range. X = 1 for 2LT, 2 for 1LT, 3 for Captain, 4 for Major. You pull those dice out from the bag. assign them to each of the units. Then after dice are assigned to officer and anyone else, you then execute the orders one at a time.

NCO squad training on a 2+. Hitler's Buzzsaw ALLLLL LMG and MMG have +1 dice; infantry and vehicle.
Command vehicles are covered. Army building section lists two ways of building your army: based on historical TOE or a scenario, or, for competetive games, use the platoon selectors.
I assume Tank War might still be compatible with the unit upgrades etc.
It uses the new vehicle pinning rules. Any weapon with penetration will cause pins on Inexperienced crews. Any weapon with penetration might cause pins on regular crews. Veteran crews ignore weapons that cannot penetrate from the art. So a +4 fired at long range against a Tiger's front will do nothing at all. Fired at the rear, will cause a pin.
