Flames of War 6pdr Anti-tank Platoon (Far East) (x4)
The 6pdr Anti-tank Gun was the backbone of British and Commonwealth anti-tank defenses during World War II, offering a balance of mobility, firepower, and reliability. In the Far East, it was adapted to fight in the challenging terrain and humid conditions of the Pacific and Southeast Asian campaigns, providing essential protection against Japanese armour and fortified positions. In Flames of War, the 6pdr Anti-tank Platoon gives you the ability to hold key defensive lines and neutralize enemy armour before it can threaten your infantry.
Product Info:
This set includes four finely detailed 15mm-scale 6pdr anti-tank guns with crew figures in Far East uniforms, perfect for British and Commonwealth Pacific forces.
About the Unit:
First introduced in 1942, the 6pdr (57mm) gun replaced the earlier 2pdr as the standard anti-tank weapon, capable of penetrating most Axis armour of its time. In the Far East, it was deployed not only against light and medium tanks but also to engage bunkers, pillboxes, and other hardened targets. Its relatively light weight allowed it to be manhandled into concealed firing positions, making it a flexible and dangerous defensive asset.
About the Models:
Each model features historically accurate gun carriages, barrels, and crew poses with Pacific theatre gear and equipment. The miniatures come unpainted and require assembly, allowing hobbyists to apply authentic camouflage and basing to match their Far East forces. Fully compatible with Flames of War Pacific lists, this platoon adds both historical depth and potent anti-armour capability to your army.
