240pts Regular Armor: 9+ (Medium Tank) Weapons: Turret Medium AT with Coax MMG, One Forward Facing light howitzer, one hull mounted MMG. -Slow
Renault R40:
165pts Regular Armor: 9+ medium tank (special armored all round ability, no modifiers for side or rear shooting) Weapons: Turreted Light AT Gun, one forward hull mounted MMG. -slow
75pt difference you are losing the light howitzer and the coax MMG can't shoot the same time the turret gun shoots, but you are getting the same armor if not more with the R40's special rules.
That's the reason I chose it over the Char B1 Bis. I also picked up the Panhard P178 Armoured Car using the same stats for the AMC SCHNEIDER P16 HALF TRACK that is in the rules. I think it's a prettier vehicle and at 125pts regular, I get a Turret Light AT with coaxial MMG with Recce. With the savings, I get another AT choice with Recce for only 50pts more.
I may have to get one for my French, I keep looking at the B1 heavy tank.
ReplyDeleteThus little tank is armor 9+ and has a light AT gun and a hull MMG. for the points, it's a steal.

biggest weakness of the french list is Anti Tank ability. Had to bolster it up some.
