Nearly 2000 of this model were produced and provided good service in the British armoured formations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anschluss Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43151011840177,"sku":"","price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/7320\/8753\/files\/9271E59B-13E3-4670-87F6-D70064F0F3C8.jpg?v=1702235683"},{"product_id":"b-platoon-pack-9-churchill-avre","title":"B Platoon pack 9 Churchill AVRE","description":"4 Vehicles per pack","brand":"Anschluss Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43531930927281,"sku":"","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/7320\/8753\/files\/Churchillavre.png?v=1710696714"},{"product_id":"b-platoon-pack-13-cromwell-iv-firefly-1944-45","title":"B Platoon pack 13 Cromwell IV + Firefly 1944 - 45","description":"\u003cp\u003e4 Vehicles per pack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Cromwell IV and 1 Firefly\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anschluss Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43531934335153,"sku":"","price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/7320\/8753\/files\/CromwellIV.png?v=1710696937"},{"product_id":"platoon-pack-15-archer","title":"B Platoon pack 15 Archer","description":"4 Vehicles per pack","brand":"Anschluss Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43531944329393,"sku":"","price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"archer","title":"Archer GB31","description":"","brand":"Anschluss Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43531944984753,"sku":"","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"platoon-pack-16-churchill-vii","title":"B Platoon Pack 16 Churchill VII","description":"4 Vehicles per pack","brand":"Anschluss Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43531947442353,"sku":"","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/7320\/8753\/files\/ChurchillVII.png?v=1710697485"},{"product_id":"b-platoon-pack-17-churchill-iii-iv","title":"B Platoon pack 17 Churchill III\/IV","description":"4 Vehicles per pack","brand":"Anschluss Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43531949899953,"sku":"","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/7320\/8753\/files\/ChurchillIII.png?v=1710697659"},{"product_id":"b-platoon-pack-18-churchill-vii-firefly-1944-45","title":"B Platoon pack 18 Churchill VII + Firefly 1944 - 45","description":"\u003cp\u003e4 Vehicles per pack \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChurchill VII x3 and Firefly x1 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anschluss Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43531951341745,"sku":"","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/7320\/8753\/files\/ChurchillVII_4b5712f9-fb7e-4a4f-8382-00eb43b435a0.png?v=1710697783"},{"product_id":"rolls-royce-armoured-car","title":"Rolls Royce Armoured Car GB34","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned in 1915, the Rolls Royce armoured car provided such sterling service for the British Army that the survivors of the original 120 that were built were refurbished in the 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey were used in the Irish Civil War but are best remembered for their role in the early stages of the 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s5\"\u003end\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e World war in the Western Desert from 1940 to 1941.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anschluss Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43566761312433,"sku":"","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/7320\/8753\/files\/FullSizeRender_bb72d731-6324-4f1a-ac1c-b8dc8cdd8f92.jpg?v=1711316379"},{"product_id":"valentine-iii","title":"Valentine III GB32","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Valentine ra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enge of cruiser tanks used the p\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003er\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evious Mk9 tank chassis, and was initially a ‘stopgap’ tank being designed on the eve of WW2 in 1939 and entering service in 1940.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Mk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIII Valentin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e appeared in 1941 and was a big improvement on previ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eous models, with a 2 rather tha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003en 1 man turret.
