I was pleased to hear in the Battlefront preview video in December 2024 about their new releases.
Back in 2011 I wrote this after the release of the Mid-War Monsters.
I do hope that we see future “monsters” for Flames of War, there are some nice concepts and ideas out there for both Early-War and Late-War.
In the Battlefront preview video it was announced that Battlefront would be producing some Early War ‘Eavies. The preview included glimpses of the British TOG and the French Char 2C, see some photographs in this post.
Alas in a recent video announcement, the release of these massive tanks was said to be delayed. However we did get to see some photographs of painted versions of these monsters.
This is the French Char 2C.
This is the British TOG.
Alongside these we saw some British A13 cruiser tanks, infantry, artillery, and the delightful Light Tank VI.
For the French we saw the Char B1 bis.
These will (I suspect) be all plastic kits. I’ve been waiting well over ten years now for these monsters, I can wait a little longer…
In the original preview video there was also mention of a German super heavy tank, but it was not identified in the review, I suspect it might be the Großtraktor that was built by Krupp and entered service in 1935. However despite seeing some nice PzKpfw I tanks and PzKpfw III tanks and variants, no mention was made about the German tank…
Though we did hear about a 1960s version of Team Yankee called Checkpoint Charlie, sounds interesting.
