Flames of War: Panzer IV Tank Platoon - German medium tanks. BATTLE FRONT GBX142

Product contents Panzer IV Tank Platoon

The Panzer IV Tank Platoon by Flames of War allows you to incorporate the true workhorse of the armored divisions during World War II into your German forces. Although various versions of the Panzer IV saw combat from the beginning of the conflict, the advanced variants deployed during the battle of Normandy (D-Day) featured long-range guns and improved armor, outgunning most enemy medium tanks.

This set includes five highly detailed plastic vehicles along with options to customize the crew and the unit cards required to field this platoon with both Wehrmacht forces and Waffen-SS divisions.

On the tabletop, the Panzer IV excels as an extremely versatile and reliable medium tank. Its 7.5cm gun delivers the anti-tank firepower and supporting fire needed to engage Sherman or T-34 tank formations and assist advancing infantry.
