Units in Fight for Freedom #6
While the Churchill was the heaviest tank deployed by the British, it began as an infantry tank design. Sluggish, heavily armored and only lightly armed, it was not unlike the WWI-era British tanks, and so quickly proved to be obsolete when facing the modernized German army.
Extensive modifications began, and while visually the versions differed very little, internally the late models barely resembled the initial design. At 25 kph, it was still a slow tank, so its main merits were the armor (up to 150 mm in the later models) and the 6-pounder turret.
[h2]Churchill II[/h2]
Churchill II, armed with a 2-pounder, was overall relegated to the second line.
[h2]Churchill III[/h2]
Churchill III was a major step up. A 6-pounder gun made it capable of not only surviving enemy tanks, but taking them out as well.
[h2]Churchill IV[/h2]
Then, Churchill IV fixed the problems of the predecessor, and became the most widely-deployed model in the series.
[h2]In the game[/h2]
At 5 hexes per turn, the Churchill is even slower than the Soviet KV, but its armor can take a beating. It can effectively combat most of the vehicles, unless facing another heavy tank.
