One of the successful designs was the Tank, Cruiser, Mk VI Crusader, more commonly known simply as the Crusader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmed with a 2-pdr main gun and later upgraded to a 6-pdr, it also had a co-axial machine gun. The Mk I carried a small hand-traversed turret armed with a Besa machine gun in the front hull although this was often removed or left unmanned by the unimpressed crews of the Mk I and Mk II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mk I and Mk II variants of the Crusader primarily saw action in the Western Desert where they would symbolise the British armoured formation in the desert, with their speed lending themselves so well to the highly mobile nature of the war in the desert and the traditional cavalry tactics the British employed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains one resin \u0026amp; metal Crusader Mk I\/II tank, Bolt Action stat card, vehicle damage markers, full-colour decal sheet and Bolt Action Order dice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\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.
