Description

Flames of War: Desert Rats – 17pdr Anti-Tank Troop

In the ongoing race between tank armour and anti-tank guns, even the 6 pdr would not be powerful enough for long. The answer was the huge 17-pounder. The barrel was ready by May 1942, but the carriage still needed work, so in an effort to rush the gun into service to deal with the arrival of heavy German panzers like the Tiger, a tempory hybrid solution was created by mounting the gun on a 25 pdr carriage.

The resulting 17/25-pounder, codenamed the ‘Pheasant’, first saw action at the Battle of Medenine in March 1943.

Set Includes:

  • 2 x plastic 17/25pdr guns
  • 2 x plastic 8th Army Crew Sprues
  • 1 x unit cards

Miniatures are supplied unpainted. Preparation and assembly may be required.

Flames of War (abbreviated as FoW) is a World War II tabletop miniatures wargame produced by the New Zealand company Battlefront Miniatures Ltd. The 1st Edition set of rules was published in 2002.
