Roll Out The Tanks For Flames Of War Arab/Israeli Battles
October 4, 2013 by brennon
If you are a big fan of the supplement battleground of the Arab/Israeli War for Flames of War then you will be pleased to know that a whole bunch of tanks are on the way. See what you think of the list below...
First up coming on October 5th 2013 we have the Magach and M51 Isherman. Both of these look like amazingly epic tanks right off the block and they are available to the Israeli forces during the fighting.
These tanks were picked up by the Israelis from West Germany, America and France. I love that Magach also means 'Battering Ram', a very fitting name.
Next up for the Arabs and coming on October 12th 2013 we have the T-34 Tank Platoon and the T-54/55 Platoon ready to roll out and take on those Israeli tanks you saw above. I am certainly a big fan of tanks that look like tanks. It's all well and good having these little nippy things but I like a good ol' fashioned tank with a massive turret to blow stuff up!
Some mega tanks for a mega supplement!
Going to get some M51’s I think they do look cool, waiting for the Centurion though :).
i got to admit i do like these
Yup, definately will be trying to get the locals to fight some Mid-East battles with these.:)
Hells yeah! Looking forward to this.
Some Centurions too…drool.
At this rate FoW will hit truly modern tank combat by 2015… I might not be able to resist anymore if they start putting out platoons of Abram or Bradley tanks. Maybe with a nice Apache or Warthog with flight-stand on the side. Until then I’m getting more and more excited to see these nice tank kits.
Just love the line and look of the more modern tanks. I can’t wait to see if they do a Desert Storm set.
I am old enough to remember the ’67 war, and ’73, and the rest. If Battlefront are crafty enough, they could cover everything from WW2 right up to date though it will take them a few years to do it given the sheer variety of equipment – and bear in mind that many countries take older vehicles or designs and make radical alterations, like the Israelis did with the Shermans.
