Churchill Crocodile

The Churchill Crocodile replaced the hull mounted Besa machine gun with a flame thrower. The fuel for the flame thrower was transported in a six and a half ton trailer towed behind the tank and could be jettisoned, making the Crocodile less vulnerable than other flame throwing vehicles. Retaining the 75mm gun made this an incredibly versatile war machine.

Seeing action first in Normandy, such was the fear inspired by this ferocious weapon that the presence of a Crocodile would often be enough to force defenders to surrender, but woe-betide any of the crew who were captured…

In games of Bolt Action the Churchill Crocodile is a super-heavy tank with a medium anti-tank gun and a flame thrower.

This vehicle can also be used in games of Achtung Panzer!, the game of close-quarters tank-on-tank combat, its rules can be found in the Achtung Panzer! rulebook.
