Bolt Action Type 97 Chi-Ha Japanese Medium Tank 1:56 WWII Military Wargaming Plastic Model Kit

With over 2,100 units made, the Type 97 Chi-Ha medium tank was the second most produced Japanese medium tank of World War II, after the smaller Type 95 Ha-Go. It saw extensive action in the Second Sino Japanese War, the Battles of Khalkhin Gol against the Soviet Union, and throughout World War II. It was Japan's standard medium tank - although with a weight of only 15 tones, excellent speed and mobility, and no more than 33mm of turret armour and 26mm on the hull, it would be considered a light tank in any other contemporary army.

• Recreate World War II combat on a tabletop using dice, model troops, tanks and the rules constructed by Bolt Action against one or more opponents.
• Each opposing side will also require painted model troops, representing the soldiers, guns and tanks of your chosen armies.
• Tabletop encounters take place according to twelve closely defined battle scenarios that explain how forces are deployed and how victory is achieved.
• All that remains is for players to pit their wits against each other as they enact just one small part of one of the greatest conflicts in history—World War II.
• Build, paint and play! The construction and painting of the models and watching them come to life are just as much fun as the game itself!
