Cromwell Armoured Troop Plastic

Cromwell Armoured Troop Plastic

The Cromwell (75mm) boasts a Rolls-Royce Meteor V12 petrol with 600 horse power giving it a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). This added speed gives it an edge over a Sherman, letting it easily outflank enemy tanks Armed with a 17 pdr gun, the hard hitting Firefly can take on the hardest German targets Contains 4x plastic Cromwell Tanks, 1x plastic Firefly (17 pdr) Tank and Decal Sheet By late 1944, all of the armoured regiments equipped with Cromwell tanks had hard-hitting support tanks armed with the 17 pdr gun to tackle the better armoured German Tiger and Panther tanks. Initially there had only been enough Fireflies to give each troop one support tank. However, by the end of 1944, most had two, giving a half-and-half split between Cromwells and support tanks. The Firefly and Challenger tanks often sat back in cover, watching over the Cromwells as they dashed to the next piece of cover. Once the Cromwells were ready, they'd move up and join them, ready to repeat the process. When facing heavy tanks, the 17 pdr tanks would engage them from the front, while the speedy Cromwells worked their way around the flank looking for a side shot.
