Its January 1945 and British forces are pushing into snow covered Germany after the failed "Battle of the Bulge".
What resistance will they meet?
Its time for the newly issued Comets to cut their teeth on some German armour!

Ah Swede!
"Cuckoo" is a German Panther Tank captured by the Coldstream Guards and put into action against its creators!
Remind me to get it out of its box!

I often wonder about those "captured from the enemy" tanks ... surely the possibility of getting shot at by your own side was considerable?

Yes Morgan - you are quite right. Cuckoo had large allied stars painted on its flanks and turret to try and avoid that.
It was a good game but poor old Will had no luck and was stamped on!
