Bolt Action: M18 Hellcat

Manufacturer: Warlord Games

28mm Scale

The Hellcat's prodigious speed was attained by keeping it's armour to no more than 1" thick. Hellcat crews quickly took advantage of the vehicle's speed to minimise the enemy's ability to pierce its thin armour. Hellcats used their speed to outflank and penetrate the side and back of the heavily armoured German Tiger and Panther tanks.

The M18 Hellcat saw service in the Western Front in the main. However it also saw action in the Pacific and in Italy. The US military also supplied the M18 to Chinese Nationalist forces opposing the Japanese in the Pacific theatre. As this was something of an overkill situation against weakly armoured Japanese tanks, the Hellcat was more often used in a fire support role.
