Hi Agis,

This A/C looks to me like a BA 10???
The photo should show a BA 6 A/C with the T26 turret. Like shown below bottome left A/C:



Is this a generic card for A/Cs of this variety?

Cheers,

Helen

As far as I know the difference between BA-6 and 10 is mainly the turret.
The pic was meant to show the BA-6.

After some picture checking I am not sure anymore...

IS-3! In for the fun of it!
The following text makes this clear in the book: "The IS-3 may not have seen action in World War II. No official reports confirm combat action in Europe. "

from what I know the IS-3 only saw ww2 action in the victory parade in Berlin!

PS: Stunning work Agis

After including the Maus in the German book I thought it only fair to give the Soviet players the IS-3...

According to wikipedia the IS-3 saw action in China against the Japanese. I didn't even know, that this tank did exist...
