Eastern Front - Uncommon - 54/60

Historical Background:

The L6/40 was a light tank development of the earlier L3/35 to include a turret and a bigger gun. While this development would have been good before WW2 during it was not so good as the gun chosen was only a 20mm auto cannon which was not capable of hurting other tanks except for other light tanks. Its armament of 20mm auto-cannon and machine gun is similar to the armament on the Panzer 2 the panzer was taken off the front lines about the time this was starting to appear. The L6 and the L3 were the only types of tanks sent to Russia where they were no use against russian tanks although they were used more for recon then direct combat.

Reviews:

Tech_Hawk
The stats are OK for this very small tank, its AI dice are considered low but it has double shot making them a little better and its AV dice are also quite low but still capable of hurting scout cars and other light tanks similar to this. For 8 points its ok for preventing being flanked by scouts or for chasing down lighter infantry like artillery and ammo dumps but it has only light armour itself so be careful. If you want something to hurt other tanks get a M11 or Semovente L40 for 2 extra points.

Plastic Figure Notes:

By Tech_Hawk

Again a well sculpted tank let down by a poor colouring, the sand yellow being accurate but bland. I have seen pictures of many different colour schemes on these including one painted a earthy red tone with black stripes which would have made a nice change to the sand yellow.
