The Rising Sun Battles Ramp Up With New Tanks & Men
August 23, 2013 by brennon
Flames of War is still fighting on the Far Eastern front and the battles between the Russians and the Japanese are heating up. Check out this mass of releases on the way below...
First up we have a mass of tank platoons for the Russian army. I actually know what some of these tanks are too thanks to playing a bit of Tanks of War! Maybe I'll be converted over to Flames of War sooner than I thought?
The BT-7A, T-28 and the T-35 each have their own ups and downs on the battlefield and I suggest checking out the links for an in depth summary of each one.
Next up we have something smaller with the BA-6 and the Type94 TK. The first was one of the Soviet armoured car of choice and they fell into two categories. In this variation they added a rather large caliber gun to the top of it. The Type94 on the other hand was a Japanese answer to the European tankettes.
To deal with all this armour you're going to need some infantry and their big guns too. The Type92 and Type94 both fire the same 37mm rounds and they look pretty ace too. It pays to hide behind something big and metal once in a while too!
Will you be picking some of this up?
Those are all very nice as could be expected from Battlefront.
Ah, the T-35, one of those kooky and utterly impractical designs the interwar period gave us. Thank you interwar period.
Soviet Union: Id like a tank please
Shop Keeper: Oh yes we have a few here today so you can have a look at what we have on offer
SU: I like this one… but its missing something
SK: Oh you want a bigger gun or a better eng…
SU: MORE MACHINE GUNSSSSSSSSS
SK:…. gines…. erm …okay we can do that for you
SU: thanks
Shop keep is left with a half finished drawing of a tank with machine guns sticking out everywhere.
That is what really happened 😀
@Dave, I always thought it had to be something like that or a Christopher Walken “More Cowbell” type of thing.
its is more like :
Tank biggest tread in 1941 – 1980 : plaines and other tanks
tank biggest tread in 1910 -1933 : Some dude with a handgranete running towards you
Walken would be:
Hello… little tank…. how you doin… today…
i’m running a fever… and i prescribe… more machine guns.. for YOUUU!
T-35 is so fun…I wonder what its RoF is???
Of its guns they are all ROF 2….
it has two deck 45 and one 76 in the turret, but they have rules in the book that cover what to do to use it.
