First seeing action in Normandy and armed with a potent 75mm gun and with good cross country performance, the Cromwell was more than a match for the venerable Panzer IV, even if outclassed by the German "Big Cats". Cromwells were used in the 7th armoured division and in the armoured recce regts of the Guards and 11th Armoured Divisions. Even the 6th Airborne armoured recce regt acquired about 8 Cromwells in Normandy and kept hold of them during the Winter fighting in "The Bulge".
Normally a troop would comprise 3 Cromwells and a Sherman Firefly.
Contains plastic tank kit, assembly guide, damage markers, Bolt Action stat cards and a full-colour waterslide decal sheet with many options - British, Canadian and Polish units are included.
In games of Bolt Action this is a medium tank with a medium anti-tank gun and the Improved HE and Fast special rules. It can be included in amroured platoons.
This vehicle can also be used in games of Achtung Panzer!, the game of close-quarters tank-on-tank combat, its rules can be found in the Achtung Panzer! rulebook.
