More Mighty Tanks Roll Into The FoW Arab/Israeli Warzone
October 12, 2013 by brennon
If you were waiting for some mega tanks then you can't go wrong with these new additions for both the Arabs and the Israelis as they fight for dominance in the region. See what you think of these tracked titans below for Flames of War...
First up we have the IS-3M Platoon for the Arabs. These were developed by the Russians and while they were slow and very heavy they also had incredibly sloped armoured sides meaning shots had a higher chance of ricocheting off. Their gun itself was very powerful and if you got a solid hit on an enemy tank it was pretty ruined.
Next up we have the M50 Sherman for the Israelis and I think a fair few people have been looking out for this one. These ended up in their country after a few interesting British maneuvers after the war and the Israelis began to modify these tanks as quickly as they could to keep pace with the big Russian tanks of the Arabs.
You can also get your hands on another track set for these tanks with the HVSS Sherman Track Kit which drastically improved the tanks off road efficiency.
Are these the tanks for you?
I am keeping an eye on this supplement and I think this will be the final push to get me into Flames of War, but the Tour of Duty era and the Arab Israeli Wars. I already got my Wargames Illustrated issue with some rules and painting guide. Hope they start offering some army deals or starter kits.
