Vickers 6-ton (FI002)

Vickers 6-ton (FI002) includes one Vickers 6-ton Light tank & one Tank Commander figure. The Vickers 6-ton tank was originally designed as a private venture by John Carden and Vivian Loyd for the famed British company Vickers Armstrong Ltd. However, the design was not adopted by the British Army; instead it was made available to foreign armed forces during the inter-war years. Check out the Vickers 6-ton in the online store here...

The Finns ordered 32 Vickers 6-ton tanks in 1936 without any manner of armament. These tanks were to be fitted with a 37mm Bofors gun and a 7.62mm co-ax machine-gun upon delivery. They were also fitted with a rather unique interpretation of a hull machine-gun consisting of a modified version of the Suomi M/31A submachine-gun. This weapon could be fired from within the vehicle or if required removed by the crew and used in the more traditional role. During the Winter War only the Finnish 4th Tank Company saw action with their Vickers 6-ton tanks. Designed by Tim Adcock Painted by Mike Haught

Limited Vision In order to pack more into small tanks, some tank designers reduced the crew to a minimum and severely limited the number of vision devices. Thus, the tanks require the commander to operate as a somewhat vision-impaired gunner as well. Tanks with Limited Vision add +1 to the score required to hit when shooting any weapon except an AA MG at targets that are entirely behind a line drawn across the front of the tank’s turret before they rotate their turret to face the target. Tanks with Limited Vision must rotate their turret to point straight ahead when they move.

Unreliable Whether poorly designed, unsuitable for the conditions, or requiring more maintenance than current supply considerations will allow, these vehicles have a significant chance of breakdown when pushed too hard. If an Unreliable vehicle attempts to move At the Double, roll a die. On a roll of 1 the vehicle becomes Bogged Down.
