The Axis & Allies 1939-1945 is made up of fan favorites pulled from previous Axis and Allies miniatures expansions, including an uncommon T-34. Included in the new starter are new full color maps.
The Char B1-bis was a monster in 1940, and is equally frightening for unprepared German players in the game. With a defense of 5/5 and a second attack against vehicles to its front, the Char B1 is a must have unit for anyone playing France in the early war. It's attacks against infantry are about average, as is its speed. The only real downside to this unit is the Complexity special ability, which causes it to become immobilized if it fails a movement roll while trying to move into difficult terrain. With a cost of 21 points, this should be on the top of the unit list for anyone playing the Allies in a Invasion of France game.
