Flames of War: 18/25 Pdr Field Battery Product Contents

The 18/25 Pdr Field Battery for Flames of War represents the iconic British artillery units that supported the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) during campaigns in Belgium and France in 1940. This set allows you to add vital field artillery support to your British forces and recreate the desperate defensive battles of the early months of World War II in Western Europe.

During the withdrawal to Dunkirk, batteries of the Royal Artillery and Royal Horse Artillery fought crucial rearguard actions to delay the German advance. At times, gunners had to deploy their pieces in a direct-fire role against advancing German armored cars and tanks attempting to cut off the British retreat.

British Artillery in the 1940 Campaign for France

The 18/25-pounder field gun represents an important bridge in interwar British artillery development. In the battles of 1940, these artillery units provided crucial indirect fire support while frequently finding themselves in high-stakes emergency engagements firing over open sights against enemy armored spearheads.

This battery is an essential choice for players fielding British armies from the Battle of France and Belgium, expanding their Flames of War force options, or recreating the holding actions that made the Dunkirk evacuation possible.
