Flames of War American M6 (3-inch & 37mm) Heavy Tanks (x2)

Prototype Heavy Armour for Alternative U.S. Late-War Lists

Historical Background:

The M6 Heavy Tank was the U.S. Army’s first attempt at developing a heavy tank during World War II. Armed with both a 3-inch main gun and a coaxial 37mm gun in the same turret, the M6 packed impressive firepower for its time. Its heavy armour and size made it a formidable presence, but logistical challenges, mechanical concerns, and the changing nature of armoured warfare led to the program's cancellation before it saw combat. Only a few were produced, and none were deployed to the front lines. However, in alternate-history scenarios like Flames of War, the M6 gives players a unique opportunity to field what could have been the U.S.’s answer to German heavy armour.
