The Russians modified this popular type of lend-lease equipment in a pretty unique way(as far as I know). What equipment and what was the modification?

British Valentine modified with the Russian 76.2 AT gun? OR the Harley modified with the Mortar platform? That's all I got.

Boy, that was quick! I wasn't aware of the Valentine mod so obviously it was the Harley Davidson Mortar add-on that I was going for. I was trying to find some info about how they worked out in battle but no luck so far. You wouldn't happen to have anything about that Tanker?

For those interested, here's a link. About a third of the way down:

Lend-Lease Liberators

Thanks for the new link!! That is cool. When I was stationed in German I saw one in a museum and thought it was bogus until I started playing Squadleader and other board games.

As for the Valentine I have read about it in several publications but have never actually seen one picture or otherwise.
