Description

The Sherman V was the mainstay of the British armoured units during the later years of the Second World War.The only downside was a high silhouette, but the Sherman made up for this with its reliability, ruggedness and numbers. Its 75mm gun was excellent at providing fire support but struggled to penetrate German heavy tanks like the Tiger, so troops were bolstered with a Sherman Vc Firefly with its powerful 17 pounder anti tank gun.

This set includes a troop of 2 Sherman V and 1 Sherman Vc ‘Firefly’ plastic tanks, ideal for Armoured Platoons in games of Bolt Action. The Sherman V’s have a medium anti-tank gun with improved HE and the Firefly’s 17 pounder is a super-heavy anti-tank gun capable of penetrating all enemy armour.

These vehicles can also be used in games of Achtung Panzer!, the game of close-quarters tank-on-tank combat, their rules can be found in the Achtung Panzer! rulebook.

Waterslide decals and assembly guides are also included.
