Mid-War Monsters

Flames Of War allows you to take on the role of a field commander manoeuvring your troops across the battlefields of World War II, bringing this classic period of warfare to life in your own games room. With Mid-war Monsters you can test out the experimental super tanks of 1942 and 1943 to see how they would have performed if they had made it into production. Massive 100-ton super tanks, nearly impenetrable light tanks, incredibly powerful tank-hunters, heavy armoured cars, and vastly-improved medium tanks.

Three British monsters ranging from the TOG2*, a throwback to the First World War armed with a 17 pdr gun, to the Boarhound armoured car, which weighs as much as a Sherman tank.
- The Anglo-American T14 assault tank.
- Three US monsters: the M6 heavy tank, America’s answer to the Tiger, the M27 designed to replace the Sherman, and the 8-wheeled T55 tank destroyer.
- Five German monsters including Porsche’s version of the Tiger tank, the Panzer I F light tank with Tiger-like armour, the Dicker Max, Sturer Emil, and 8.8cm FlaK18 Sfl tank-hunters.
- Two Italian monsters: the P40 heavy tank that was nearly a match for a Sherman tank, and the improved Semovente 75/34.
- Four Soviet monsters with the new T‑43 medium tank and three heavy tanks ranging from the 100-ton KV-5 down to the comparatively light 43-ton IS-85.
