Most memorable action: A particularly sneaky reserve attack move saw a T-34/85 advance on to the table as the last move of turn 3 taking out an Sd.Kfz 222 with its first shot. Most feared foe: Any Air attack as the Soviet forces struggle to bring much Flak to the table. Its Medium Armour means it has to stay wary but its Heavy Anti-tank gun means it generally kills what it hits!īest target: Any Medium or Heavy armoured vehicle, to use its +6 Heavy Anti-tank gun to full effect. Overall thoughts: When writing Soviet Army lists there aren’t many better ways of spending 235 points. The Soviet Union fielded T-34/85s in platoons of three A supremely rugged and reliable tank, the T-34/85 had excellent off-road capability, especially in the marshland or snow of the Eastern Front, and was easy for the crew to operate and maintain. The T-34/85, the very symbol of Soviet military strength in the Second World War, had a new turret to house the more powerful 85mm ZiS gun. As German tank design came to the fore, the Soviet war machine once again raised the bar with the T-34/85. The introduction of the T-34 into action saw German tank design follow suit with similarly angled armour on the likes of the Panther and King Tiger. The sloping, angular layout of the T-34 increased the effective armour thickness, and also saw a larger proportion of shells deflected away than penetrated its armour. The T-34 series, with its sloping armour, changed the principles of tank design during the war.
