17-Pounder Anti-Tank Platoon (Plastic) (BBX54)

Flames of War – D-Day British Gun Releases

These anti-tank troops are the real ace-up-the-sleeve of any cunning commander. Capable of bringing down even Jerry's heavy Tiger tank, your 17-pounders must be deployed carefully to dominate likely armor approaches. You must maximize their destructive capability at a critical moment in the battle.

Daimler Armored Car Troop (Plastic) (BBX61)

Flames of War – D-Day British Gun Releases

The Daimler armored car and Dingo scout car have powerful engines and independent suspension, giving them great mobility. The 2-pounder anti-tank gun gives it a huge punch for such a small armored car.

25-Pounder Field Troop (Plastic) (BBX63)

Flames of War – D-Day British Gun Releases

The 25-pounder gun artillery batteries can serve in dual roles, both as artillery and anti-tank, although its anti-tank capability has been reduced over time with the thicker armor on the German panzers, and so care should be taken when engaging enemy tanks.

Priest Field Troop (Plastic) (BBX64)

Flames of War – D-Day British Gun Releases

The American M7 self-propelled 105mm howitzer has gained the nickname Priest in British service from the pulpit-like machine-gun mounting. Built on the chassis of the Grant tank, the Priest gives the armored divisions a mobile artillery piece able to keep up with its tanks during cross-country moves.

6-Pounder Anti-Tank Platoon (Plastic) (BBX54)

Flames of War – D-Day British Gun Releases

The 6-pounder first saw action in May 1942 at Gazala. It made an immediate impact on the battlefield, as it was able to penetrate any enemy tank then in service. Use the 6-pounder anti-tank guns to protect your men from German tanks. When used with skill, these superb little guns are capable of punching well above their weight.
