barca Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Matilda Tanks in the Desert https://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=109&art_id=6125 The suggestion in the article seems like something worth trying: "Oddly, the one place that the Valentine could not compete with the Matilda was in the artillery support role. Whereas there was a Matilda CS (Close Support) version armed with a 3-inch howitzer, there was no Valentine equivalent. As a result, Valentine armoured squadrons initially had a pair of Matilda CS tanks in their HQ troop. If you want to model your Valentine Armoured Squadron this way, you can field an HQ of one Valentine II and two Matilda CS tanks (see the Matilda Armoured Squadron HQ card below for the Matilda CS data) for 20 points instead of the standard HQ." Download the pdf files for the cards in the article: https://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=109&art_id=6125 Matilda II (BR052) with CS option https://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=1423 To order Matildas:https://www.flamesofwar.com/online_store.aspx?categoryid=2137&Country=GB https://www.thewarstore.com/Battlefront-Flames-of-War-Matilda-II-CS.htmlhttps://www.miniaturemarket.com/fow-br052.html Since the Matilda has top armor of 2, those of you concerned about infantry or Aircraft hitting your tanks, the Matilda is a cheaper option at 18 pts for three hulls vs 33 pts for 3x Churchills.
