The 88 could also be deployed as a conventional artillery piece – as one infantryman noted, the 88 was 'anti-everything'... \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 88 saw service on all fronts in which the Germans fought during WWII, including the Western Desert where it was one of the very few weapons capable of dealing with the British Matilda II infantry tanks, and on the Eastern Front where the 88 was among the rare weapons able to tackle the new Soviet T-34 and KV tanks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn games of Bolt action the 88 can be included in Artillery Platoons using the 88mm Flak 36 army list entry. It is a superheavy anti-tank gun on a rotating platform with the option to fire as a medium howitzer, making it the most versatile artillery in the game, and can be towed by the Sd.Kfz 7 half-track. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContents: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne hard plastic 8.8cm Flak 37 dual-purpose AA\/AT gun, which can both elevate and rotate with 7 metal German Afrika Korps crew \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull-colour waterslide decal sheet and construction leaflet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"\u003eModels supplied unassembled and unpainted \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warlord Games\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolt Action\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFaction:\u003c\/strong\u003e German\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStock Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf this item is not currently in stock at time of order, we will order it for you as a \u003cstrong\u003eDirect Order\u003c\/strong\u003e from Warlord Games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect Order items are sourced directly from the manufacturer on your behalf.
