The Boarhound was a heavy armoured car developed in the United States and supplied to the British during World War II. Built on a wheeled chassis and armed with a 75mm gun, it was designed to offer both mobility and the firepower of a medium tank. Though its production run was limited, the Boarhound symbolized the Allied experimentation with armoured reconnaissance vehicles that could double as effective combat support.
Product Info:
This set includes two resin and metal Boarhound (75mm) Armoured Cars for use in Flames of War. These vehicles provide heavy-hitting reconnaissance support for Mid War British forces, combining speed with tank-level firepower.
About the Vehicle:
The Boarhound was conceived in 1941 as part of a U.S. initiative to produce heavy armoured cars for the British. Weighing over 26 tons and equipped with thick armour, it carried a 75mm main gun—making it one of the most powerfully armed wheeled vehicles of the war. Despite its potential, high production costs and logistical challenges limited its deployment, but those that were fielded gave the British a unique and formidable reconnaissance vehicle during the desert campaigns.
