Warlord Stop Your Tanks in Their Tracks with Plastic Obstacles
August 1, 2014 by dracs
The Bolt Action supplement Tank Wars will see large scale tank battles taking place upon your tabletop, but it will need something more than just tanks. It needs terrain pieces to get in the way of those tanks!
This set contains plastic Dragons Teeth blocks to form obstacles against tank movements, and also brings you some barbed wire frames to help channel enemy infantry.
These obstacles will be an interesting inclusion into your games as you have to take them into account when planning your tank movements. They were a fairly common sight on the battlefields of WWII, and will help to accurately recreate them on the tabletop.
What other ways did they come up with for dealing with tanks in WWII? Other than big guns I mean.
Again like Bolt Actions release of stone walls that were identical to the Italeri ones only more expensive they seem to have done the same again with these obstacles
Have a look for Italeri set 6147, I am sure you will find them cheaper than a tenner
That set is 1/72 scale. Looks the the BA is a bit bigger? If that is the case a slightly higher price isn’t unwarranted.
Exactly as @koraski said – that set is 1/72, these are 1/56, so I have no issues with a price increase
Are you sure there 1/56?….They said the stone wall set they released was suitable for 28mm gaming but it was still just the old Italeri 1/72 set at a higher price
I stand to be corrected though
I don’t have specific knowledge about these, I just couldn’t imagine them trying to pass of tiny 1/72 tank traps for 1/56 scale!
I think you are right. It’s the exact same plastic kit as the 1/72 Italeri set. That is really disappointing. With the stone walls the scale difference doesn’t matter much. In 1/72 its a high stone wall and in 1/56 its a low one. These anti tank obstacles gust don’t look right in 1/56 scale.
