French experiences during The Great War influenced their belief a breakthrough tank would be needed in future conflicts, hence the design of the heavy Char B1 and B1 bis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit allows you to build French or German gun tanks or as one of two versions of German flammpanzers, it contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA French\/German Char B1 bis tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt Action stat cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-colour waterslide decal sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle damage markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the most powerful tanks at the time, the Char B1 bis was very effective against German Panzers in 1940 during the Battle of France. However, slow speed and high fuel consumption made it ill-adapted to the more fluid style of warfare being fought at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the fall of France, the victorious German military captured 161 Char B1 bis tanks and repurposed them under the nomenclature Panzerkampfwagen B-2 740 (f). Several were also converted into flame-throwing tanks.\u003c\/p\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\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.
