MID-WAR ARSENALS VERSION 3 UPDATE With the publication of the latest version of the Flames Of War rules, the characteristics of some weapons have been changed, so I’ve taken the opportunity to update the Mid-war arsenals. The update fixes a number of glitches in the original arsenals as well as bringing them up to date with the latest rules. — Phil Yates, 10 April 2013 TANK TEAMS Armour Name Mobility Front Side Top Equipment and Notes Weapon Range ROF Anti-tank Firepower LIGHT TANKS ‘Honey’ Stuart I and III Light Tank 3 2 1 Co-ax MG, Hull MG.
