The range of the 12in caliber mortar is less than 200 yards and the rate of fire is 2 a minute (iirc).  Although... it would be nice to level a town in 5 shots.

Maybe... just maybe... HTC could release the Churchill and have an abundance of variations available in the hanger.  The 6lb'er, the 75mm, 290 Petard mortar, etc.  Hmm... they did it with the I-16 (used one base model and allowed multiple versions to be represented), so why not the Churchill tank?   :aok

At about 15mph, the town will be leveled by the M4s by the time you get there.   :furious

+1,

I want the AVRE, MkI, MkIV, and Mk VII.

The AVRE for the mortar, the MkI for the hull howitzer/40mm AT gun, the Mk IV for the QF 6lber AT gun, and Mk VII for the 75mm gun and the extra armor.
