Clash of Steel: British versus Soviet Starter - Unbox and review

[@jamesscalzo3033]

Loved the video @AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall! Can't wait for the next video man! Glad to hear that the FV4101 Charioteers are in at least the Second Wave Starter Set for Clash of Steel. Like Most, if not all, of the Units in the game, they can also be used in Flames of War Late War Leviathans. The British only built 442 Charioteers during it's Production run from 1951 to 1954, all using Cromwell Mk. VII Cruiser Tanks with the Type F Hull modified to have the Type B Fishtail Exhausts on the A34 Comet Cruiser Tanks. The Design was Mainly Focused on getting the 84 millimeter Ordnance, Quick-Firing 20-pounder Gun to the Frontlines as quickly as possible since the Production of the Centurion Mk. 3's was Proving to be Slow and the Conqueror still in Development. In Late War Leviathans and Clash of Steel, The Charioteer doesn't have the Stabilizer for it's 20-pounder Gun as the Centurion's do for theirs meaning it's got a Rate of Fire 1 when Halted plus the Awkward Layout Rule, so you might have to think several turns ahead in order to get some hits with it. Most of the Military Service these Tanks did see was Mostly in Lebanon in both the Civil War from April 13th, 1975 to October 13th, 1990 and the 1978 South Lebanon Conflict from March 14th to March 21st, 1978. The Most Notable Operators of the Charioteer's were the Tigers Militia, using them from 1978 to 1980 but their Longest Service was with the South Lebanon Army from 1976 to 1983. I plan on Building these Tanks along with the A34 Comet and A27M Cromwell Mk. IV Cruiser Tanks in Modded Minecraft at some point (provided I can get an Account set up for Java Edition and see if my "Recreational PC" can Handle it *Sarcastic Ha Ha Ha* ) as well as a Centaur Bulldozer in case any Engineering Duties need to be done. I jokingly call it "Scalzo Force" in Reference to Kingforce from the North African Campaign in World War Two and Cooper Force from the Korean War. Not sure if Battlefront will ever Release a Centaur Bulldozer Miniature, but it would be nice if they did. Because of how Laggy things will likely be in Minecraft, I'm only Planning on Building 1 of Each Vehicle for my Force. 1 Cromwell Mk. IV Cruiser Tank (with Either the Type C, D, Dw, E, Ew, or F Hulls), 1 A34 Comet Cruiser Tank (with Type A Hull), 1 FV4101 Charioteer Tank and 1 Centaur Bulldozer. On the Tabletop However, My Force will be a bit more Substantial and Fleshed out. Not sure how much it'll come to for Flames of War, but the HQ will have 2 Cromwell Mk. IV Cruiser Tanks, 1 Troop of 5 A34 Comet Cruiser Tanks, a Cromwell Recce Troop with 3 Cromwell Mk. IV Cruiser Tanks, a Charioteer Armoured Troop of 3 FV 4101 Charioteer Tanks and the Single Centaur Bulldozer for a Total of 14 Vehicles like Cooper Force. This is mainly an Expeditionary Force, or rather what I envisioned the force to be in Minecraft as far as the Pillagers are concerned, where the Main Forces that are Expected to be Encountered are Enemy Infantry and some Mobile Forces (The Pillagers have the Ravager which is a Massive Beast that will trample your Crops and even Clear Leaves off of Trees if they're low enough, Usually a Pillager, Evoker or a Witch will ride on them when they come in on the 3rd Wave). Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video man!

Nice! Very happy to see this, this morning!

I just bought the British vs German last week. Can’t wait to build it!

I wonder if they'll ever release a universal T-44/54/55 box with stuff for multiple factions or even multiple games. It's such a great kit. This model is useable in so many games - World of Tanks, Clash of Steel, FoW Leviathans and Vietnam, Fate of a Nation, Team Yankee. I guess including the Marksman, Tiran 5 and 44/54 turrets in every box could perhaps be seen as uneconomic but as far as the standard T-55/55AM variants go, it always seemed odd to me that they would produce so many different box variants when usually the only thing that's different inside are the decals and cards. Surely it can't be such a big problem to create a unified T-55 box for all Warsaw Pact nations in Team Yankee, for example.

Fairly ok video but maybe know what you're talking about before making your comments public.
