Australian Matilda II Infantry Tank from Warlord Games

The terrain in North Africa prevented the deployment of large armored formations. Instead, the Australian 4th Armoured Brigade, equipped with Matilda tanks, was disbanded and its units deployed as individual troops of three tanks each to provide direct infantry support.

The Australians have made several field modifications to the Standard A12 Matilda II, the two most important additions being armored guards on the front rails and protection against the turret ring being caught in a gun trap.

The Matilda Frog was a terrible weapon that fired pressurized flames. A 20-second pause between shots, while the pressure rebuilt, required close infantry support to prevent the tank from being overrun by the enemy.

This set contains everything you need to build either a Matilda II with a 2-pounder, Close Support with a 3" howitzer, or frog flamethrower variants.
