Warlord Offers Protection From Air Attacks With the Crusader AA Mk II/III
May 4, 2015 by stvitusdancern
Warlord Games has announced a new forces to protect your British and Polish forces for Bolt Action with the Crusader AA Mk II/III.
The Anti-Aircraft versions of the Crusader were developed in response to the perceived need to counter German “tank-busting” ground attack aircraft. They consisted of a Crusader armed with twin Oerlikon 20mm guns for anti-aircraft use.
There is not much visual difference between the 2 Crusaders- Mk III only differed from the Mk II by the position of the radio, which was moved to the hull in order to free some space inside the turret.
Will you be calling on the Crusaders for some added defense?

What to do ? New resin kit from Warlord or wait for the plastic Rubicon Crusader I-III tank / AA combo kit ? Maybe one of each
That does look really good.
Must have. Don’t know why, but it is a must.
a nice tank but the tracks look very narrow for a 20,Ton tank but they must have been ok they worked?
The later British cruiser tanks are long bu that appearance is enhanced by their narrow tracks. They could go like the clappers but relied on speed rather than armour for survival.
