Title: I knew British WW2 tanks were undergunned but...
Post by: Last Hussar on 14 June 2011, 11:10:55 PM
Just popped over to the main site.  On the front page is the list of new releases.  Now the titles of figures obviously mirror the period specific page, but I was surprised to see

A9 Cruiser Tank MkI
A10, Cruiser tank Mk II
With club, type 2
With axe, type 2
With spear
With sword and shield
Throwing spear, shield
Chieftain and Shaman command group

Was the "Shaman" the 60s/70s C&C vehicle?

What was wrong with the type 1 club and axe that they had to replace them?   ;)

the newer club has a 6" nail in it for increased armour piercing.

Still not sure that throwing spear AND shield at the enemy is the best idea?

Shield is round like a frisbee, or possibly boomerang shaped

Is this where I'm going wrong on the bit of "Call of Duty" that I'm stuck on ?
Instead of running backwards and forwards like a headless chicken, trying to reload the panzershrek to shoot the tanks...I should just be lobbing spears and things at them.
Tsk...No wonder I can't save the convoy !
