U.K. INFANTRY TANK MK. II

BATTLE OF NORTH AFRICA, GERMANY & ITALY

EL-ALAMEIN, 1942

The Forces of Valor... these are the men that fought the battles. They came from every nation and every creed to battle on their countries behalf. Today’s fighting forces are similar to those of the past. The makeup of men, now joined by women, remains basically the same. Acts of heroism, keen determination, and sheer willpower define today’s Forces of Valor…

Forces of Valor vehicles and aircraft feature true-to-life detail with lots to discover and explore… tank tracks that really roll along their independent suspension… hatches & access ports that reveal internal compartments… turrets & gun barrels that maneuver just like they did in battle… all these exacting details bring these combat proven machines to life!

The British Infantry Tank Mk. II (Matilda) was the most heavily armored tank in service in the early years of World War II. It was equipped with 40mm solid shotgun & protective armor that was completely immune to the normal 37mm anti-tank shells used by the early field guns employed by the Germans. Throughout the North African Campaign, the Matilda was the main infantry tank of the British Armored Divisions and took part in most of the major land battles in the north African Desert.
