Flames of War: Cromwell Armoured Platoon

Battlefront haben eine neue Panzerbox vorgestellt.

Cromwell IV

The Cromwell had a top speed of 32 mph (51 kph), though if ungoverned it was as high as 40 mph (64 kph) and was considered the fastest British tank in Service.

Cromwell Armoured Platoon (BBX31)

Includes five plastic Cromwell tanks, one plastic British tank commander sprue and one decal sheet.

The Cromwell was the product of further development of British cruiser tanks designed to replace the Crusader, which had proved to be under armoured and mechanically unreliable during the fighting in North Africa.

After a number of designs had been submitted, it was soon realised that the current British built tank engine (the Liberty) was not up to the task of powering a tank heavier than the Crusader. A new engine based on the Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft engine was designed to replace it. The new Meteor engine had approximately 600 hp (447 kW), double that of the Liberty.
