The Churchill was like most British tanks in service throughout WWII: Always just a little undergunned compared to the opponents it would square off against. Luckily, it was built like a mobile fortress, enabling allied anti-armour assets to maneuver into position to knock out heavier targets - including the feared German big cats!

Thanks to Warlord Games for sending along the Churchill for this guide! Check out the pre-order page for Achtung Panzer here: eu.warlordgames.com/products/achtung-panzer-blood-steel-starter-set

There's a bunch of other army boxes and sets to either add a bunch of armour to your Bolt Action collection, or get a platoon of tanks ready for Achtung Panzer and wallop an opponent across the table!
