Hellcat Armoured Platoon
The Hellcat’s prodigious speed was attained by keeping its armour to no more than 1″ thick. Hellcat crews quickly took advantage of the vehicle’s speed to avoid being fired on and to outflank the heavily armoured German tanks.
The M18 Hellcat first saw service in Italy but rose to fame in North West Europe, dominating German tanks (including Panthers) at Arracourt then playing a key role in the Battle of the Bulge. It also saw action in the Pacific in US and Chinese Nationalist service, being used more in the fire support role as Japanese tanks posed little threat.
In games of Bolt Action the Hellcat is classed as an armoured car (Damage Value 7+) with a heavy anti-tank gun. This set contains an Amoured Platoon of three Hellcats.
Contents:
- Three 1/56 scale hard plastic M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyers
- Full-colour waterslide decal sheet
- Construction leaflet
- Bolt Action stat card
- Damage markers
This vehicle can also be used in games of Achtung Panzer!, the game of close-quarters tank-on-tank combat, its rules can be found in the Achtung Panzer! rulebook.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
