Providing armored support to your brave Tommies, this new resin-and-metal A9 Cruiser Tank Mk I can be used to support the forces of the British Expeditionary Force in France, during the conflict in Greece, and with the 8th Army in the Western Desert. Armed with a QF 2-pdr main gun and co-axial Vickers machinegun in the main turret, the A9 was peculiar in that it also has Vickers machineguns mounted to independent turrets, adding welcome firepower to the King's forces.

The A9 Cruiser Mk I was an effective tank in the North African campaigns. It's 2-pdr gun was lethal against the early Italian tanks it encountered during the North African campaign, and could also hold its own against Rommel's early Panzer IIs and IIIs. It was a fast tank designed to bypass the main enemy lines and engage the lines of communication, as well as with enemy tanks, and is available now in our webstore!
