The Clash of Steel: British - Challenger Armoured Troop is a meticulously crafted miniature set that brings the formidable British Challenger tanks to your tabletop wargaming scenarios. This set is ideal for enthusiasts aiming to enhance their British armored divisions with historically accurate and detailed models.
As German tank developers continued to create heavier and heavier tanks with thicker armour, Allied forces looked for new options to defeat them. The appearance of the Tiger I was the last straw and prototype 17 pounder anti-tank guns were rushed to the front to give British forces an effective counter.
The development of the Challenger was one of the many options pursued and used a lengthened Cromwell hull with its powerful Rolls Royce Meteor engine, and a new turret design that was large enough to accommodate the large gun and a crew of four. A fifth crew member, the driver, remained in the hull.
