Instead, the Matilda-equipped Australian 4th Armoured Brigade was broken up and deployed as individual troops of three tanks in direct support to the infantry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Australians made several field conversions to the standard A12 Matilda II, the two main additions being armoured guards fitted to the front tracks and protection against the turret ring becoming a shot trap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Matilda Frog was a terrifying weapon, firing gouts of pressurised flame. Needing a 20-second pause between shots while the pressure built up again, it required close infantry support to prevent the tank being overrun by the enemy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContains: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eall you need to build either a Matilda II with 2-pounder, Close Support with 3” howitzer or Frog flamethrower variants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiniatures are supplied unpainted and some assembly may be required. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45137094508731,"sku":"WGB-402415001","price":59.67,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1704\/1809\/files\/402415001-0.webp?v=1705506724","url":"https:\/\/southjerseydisability.com\/products\/bolt-action-australia-australian-matilda-ii-infantry-tank","provider":"southjerseydisability","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
