    Product details

    Background & context

    Der amerikanische M10 war 1944 ordentlich gepanzert, aber sein 3-Zoll-Geschütz kam gegen deutsche Neubauten kaum noch durch. Die Briten zogen deshalb in eigenen Werkstätten das Rohr heraus und setzten den 17-Pfünder ein, dieselbe Kanone, die auch den Firefly gefährlich machte. Über tausend Fahrzeuge wurden so umgerüstet und ab der Normandie eingesetzt, wo sie vor allem deutsche Gegenangriffe abfingen. Ihr Vorteil gegenüber gezogener Pak war schlicht, dass sie rechtzeitig in Stellung kamen.

    On the tabletop

    The Achilles is an M10 into which the British fitted the 17-pounder, with over a thousand vehicles converted this way. In Bolt Action it is a light tank with a super-heavy anti-tank gun and fits any British armoured platoon from Normandy in 1944. Use it to stop German counter-attacks, taking advantage of the fact that it gets into position faster than a towed gun, but keep its open turret away from enemy infantry. Achtung Panzer! covers it too.
