The Belgians And French Access some Serious Bolt Action Fire Power
April 30, 2012 by brennon
Warlord Games are back to the Bolt Action World War II front with some new heavy weapons for both the French and the Belgians. Check out their hardware below.
First up is the Belgian FRC 47mm Anti-Tank Gun.
A great piece of kit for use against pesky tank advances. You would certainly feel safe with this by your side charging against the enemy.
Next up is the French Char 2c FCM Super Heavy Tank.
The words Super Heavy can probably give you an idea of just what kind of damage this thing could do. It needed a crew of twelve just to get this thing going on the battlefield! While it didn't see much action on the in combat it was a very important tank for propaganda purposes in World War II.
Will you be picking either of these up?
I am liking more way that Char 2C looks than way that anti-tank gun looks.
Didn’t know the French had super-heavy tanks…wouldn’t have thought there was much of a chance to build any before total occupation. I’m guessing this is a refit of an existing chassis with MOAR GUNZ to qualify as a super-heavy.
I can’t see the utility of it either, it’s not like it can move fast, which you’d expect French tanks to do… 😉
It was around before the start of WWII and after a few periods of use became more of a propaganda tool than a machine of war. A lot of them were just too unwieldy on the battlefield so they got relegated.
Still, it is freckin’ massive and would be pretty awesome to see on the tabletop.
