25 pdr Field Troop (Far East) (x4)

In 1942 and 1943 the British Field Artillery Regiments were still equipped with a mix of new OQF 25 pdr guns and old OQF 4.5-inch howitzers. These were fully motorised, which would be ideal for the European theatre, but in the wild country of Burma made them difficult to move about.

• Modern warfare sees tanks and guns coming into close contact more often than the artillery troopers would like, but the 25 pdr's capability to direct-fire at enemy tanks over open sights can be used to good effect
• Each gun is supplied with solid steel armour-piercing rounds for this eventuality
• While the 25 pdr is of some use in anti-tank work, it excels in its primary role as a field gun. It can fire to a range of over 12km (7.5 miles), threatening distant enemy infantry, guns, and even tanks
• A circular firing platform attached underneath the trail is lowered to the ground and the gun is pulled onto it. This provides a stable surface on which the gun can quickly be rotated in any direction
