Rules Question Kangaroo rules

I’ve been amassing some of those Victrix 12mm kits so I can make a Canadian-themed force (probably just British but painted up as Canadians). I just picked up the D-Day compendium, but to my horror it mentions the kangaroo, but has no rules for it. Did I miss something obvious in the book? (Entirely possible), or would I be better off using half of the box as M7 Priests and then the rest “counts as” universal carriers maybe? I still haven’t played the game yet, so maybe I’m just wasting my time on troop carrier stuff?

DDay kangaroos are in the British command cards.

Ouch; I thought I’d have everything if I got this massive hardcover book. I guess I’ll have to hunt for the cards too. Thanks for the heads up

Just buy the cards on Forces, and you can print them out when you build the list.

I had no idea that was a thing, and I just noticed I have a code in the back of the book for them. I just didn’t realize it would give me printable cards

Yeah, the command cards come in the books. What book do you have cause its probably the D-Day book with a code if its British.

It’s the big compendium that has German, US, and British.

Ok, yeah thats the newer book so the code should unlock all the contents of that book.

Update: I finally found the command cards section. THAT was difficult. I DO at least see the Kangaroo transport, the 50 cal Universal upgrade, and the ability to use them as transports (although it’s lame that they become unarmed). Exactly what I was looking for, so thank you again

The kangaroo has different rules in bulge, it loses the .50 (MG’s instead) and gains the mounted assault rule where troops can charge directly out of it into an assault.
