If you are looking for large-scale historic WWII battles then Flames of War is the game for you. And if you want something a little more sci-fi, they are also releasing a bunch of WWIII stuff as well! But for now, let’s just focus on the newest kits!
Jagtiger Tank-hunter Platoon: $40.00
Here’s what they have to say about the new set:
Includes three Plastic Jagtiger (12.8cm) Tank-hunters and one Decal Sheet.
The Jagdtiger tank-hunter had thick armour that was effectively invulnerable from the front. Its sides were also well armoured and only the higher calibre Allied anti-tank tank guns could penetrate it. Its main armament was its powerful 12.8cm PaK44 anti-tank gun. This gun was derived from the K81 divisional gun and could penetrate any tank the Allies had, often blowing smaller vehicles into fragments.
Tiger II Tank Platoon: $40.00
Let’s hear about this new set:
Includes three Plastic Tiger II (8.8cm) Tanks and one Decal Sheet.
The Tiger II promised to return the German heavy panzer to the early days of 1943 when the original Tiger I E tank dominated the battlefield. It was armed with an even longer 8.8cm gun (8.8cm KwK43 L/71) which could destroy enemy armour at long range with ease. Its thick front armour makes it invulnerable to most Allied guns, while its substantial side armour makes it ideal for assaulting its way through fortified enemy defences.
That does it for this one, now go get yourself some awesome new tanks and get to fighting out some battle!
