New Plastic Churchill Tank Troop Hits For Flames Of War
July 5, 2018 by brennon
Battlefront has just one release for July at the moment with the Churchill Tank Troop rolling out in plastic for your games of Flames Of War.
Inside the set, you get five tanks which can be assembled in a variety of ways to give you a selection of different approaches to combat.
These tanks were designed to rumble forward at walking pace with their guns covering the advance of infantry in and around them. They have quite a low profile too which probably helped make them less of a target as they slowly trundled forth.
It seems like quite a few of these could be thrown into the mix as a standard infantry division could have expected to see 180 of these following in their wake!
Included within the box you'll also find some bonus content.
As well as the decal kit you also get two objective markers featuring artwork by Vincent Wai and also cards for use in the TANKS skirmish game by Gale Force Nine.
Are you going to be snapping up some new variants of the Churchill?
"These tanks were designed to rumble forward at walking pace with their guns covering the advance of infantry in and around them..."
Churchill is not among my favorite WW2 tanks but that’s nice boxed set.
They look great an the three types are in this box.?
In total you can make 5 variants.
Not sure how I feel about this. The ‘Tanks’ cards are different from the ones available in the Churchill Tanks expansion. So to get the full set of cards you will need to buy the Tanks expansion AND this FoW Troop pack.
Tanks so far has the early versions used in the North African Desert.
I can imagine that in the future there will be a late Churchill for Tanks also with the cards shown in the FoW-5Tanks-Box. Note that the Tanks-cards are just Bonus content for the first production run of the FoW-Box.
Just be patient.
Yep, hopefully this is a preview of things to come 🙂 I am hoping to snap up one of these limited run box sets. Probably trying to introduce FoW players to Tanks.
Looks like I’m gonna need to update my profile pic (Any excuse for the Churchill)
** I have a mighty need **
