T-34 (Early) Tank Expansion

The T-34 was the most-produced tank of World War II. When the German Wehrmacht first encountered it in battle in 1941, German tank generals von Kleist and Guderian called it “the deadliest tank in the world.” The fast-moving T-34 tank was the mainstay of the Red Army’s tank force throughout the war.

KV Tank Expansion

The KV tank was a new type of heavy tank, a rejection of the multi-turreted designs like the T-35 and T-28 that had dominated the 1930s. When Operation Barbarossa began, the Red Army had 508 new KV tanks. So effective was its armour that the Germans had to rely on pioneers with anti-tank mines and heavy anti-tank guns.


This pack contains:
1x Unassembled KV-1 / KV-1S tank
1x KV-1 tank card

Lend Lease M3S Lee Tank Expansion

At first the M3-Lee tank confused Soviet tank designers with a hull mounted 75mm and a 37mm gun in its turret; the design was simply odd. The Tank quickly proved itself to be a worthy fighting machine through its durability and reliability.

Lend Lease Churchill Tank Expansion

The first 25 Churchill tanks were delivered to the Soviet Union in May 1942. With its heavy armour and powerful 6pdr gun the Churchill made an excellent addition to the Guards breakthrough regiments. The Churchill’s roof-mounted periscope so impressed Soviet tank designers that it influenced later periscopes installed in the T-34/85 and IS-2.

Priest (RHA) Tank Expansion

The RHA (Royal Horse Artillery) were highly experienced gunners. On the mobile battlefields of World War II they traded in their horse and limbers for American M7 self-propelled 105mm, nicknamed ‘Priest’ in British service. The Priest gave the armoured divisions a mobile artillery piece able to keep up with its tanks during cross-country moves.

Sherman II Tank Expansion

The new Sherman tank was the next evolutionary step from the powerful Grant tank. Its large turret allowed it to mount an even more powerful 75mm gun in the turret rather than the hull front, and with thicker armour. Supplied to the British in large numbers the American built Sherman tank would fight through North Africa and Europe till the end of the war.

Semovente Tank Expansion

Although initially intended as a close-support artillery piece, the fact that the Semovente carried a bigger gun than the tanks it supported led to its use as a tank-destroyer, and then as a tank in its own right. By the time of the Tunisian fighting, the Semovente made up approximately half of the Italian armoured force in theatre, giving them significantly greater punch than in earlier battles in the desert.


This pack contains:
1x unassembled Semovente tank
1x Semovente tank card

4x Upgrade cards
