1/56th Scale (28mm) Chieftain Main Battle Tank from Sloppy Jalopy

We are pleased to announce the long awaited arrival of the Chieftain kit from Sloppy Jalopy. Designed by Ian Crouch and acquired by Sloppy Jalopy when they brought the Chieftain line.

The kit contains detailed resin hull, tracks and turret castings together with white metal components.

The model retails at £28 and is available from Sally 4th and Sloppy Jalopy Mail order.

Sally 4th is Sloppy Jalopy’s show agent so we will have the Chieftain as well as the complete range of Interwar and Cold War vehicles and figures with us around the shows.

The next shows that we will be attending is ROBIN on Sunday 12th February and Hammerhead on Saturday 4th March,  where you will be able to take a look at the painted model in our display case.

The next two models to be released by Sloppy Jalopy are the T62 and T72 kits.

We have written a detailed assembly / painting guide for the Chieftain kit which is available HERE

Apologies to all those who wanted to play the participation game and had placed pre-orders for the show, these of course will be honoured with free postage.

As well as being a handy way to record the details of your units, the reverse of the cards has all of the additional information required for play which is not already on the core Combat Patrol Action Deck cards.
Pack of 15 Unit Reference Cards printed on 70mm x 120mm matt card

Set contains

• 1 Quick reference card for hand to hand combat
• 10 Blank Infantry record cards with movement quick reference on back
• 3 Blank Cavalry record cards with movement quick reference on back
• 1 Blank Artillery record cards with movement quick reference on back

Cards designed to fit inside Ultra-Pro 'Tarot' sized deck protector sleeves so that unit & leader names can be written on and wiped off.

The Napoleonic Supplement for Combat Patrol has been released today as a free PDF download.

Combat Patrol provides a comprehensive set of rules for skirmishes set in World War II. The Napoleonic supplement provides guidance for adapting the rules to small-scale actions in the Napoleonic era including the War of 1812. This Napoleonic supplement is envisioned as the first in a series of Horse and Musket era supplements that will cover other periods such as the American Civil War, various Colonial Wars, the Seven Years War, or the Pike and Shot period. In adapting Combat Patrol from the second world war to the Napoleonic era the following areas have been addressed: organization, weapons, close order formations, artillery, and mounted troops, while retaining the fluid and innovative Combat Patrol card based combat mechanisms.
