The 105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage (HMC) M7 was the workhorse of US Army motorized artillery units, providing unparalleled close fire support. Built on the ubiquitous M4 Sherman hull, the open-topped superstructure held a 105mm howitzer, supported by a .50 cal heavy machine gun on a ring mount – a characteristic which led the British to nickname the M7 ‘Priest’ due to its pulpit-like appearance.
Almost 3,500 M7s were produced during WWII. In US service, the M7 was a great success. During the Battle of the Bulge, each U.S. armored division had three battalions of M7s, giving them unparalleled mobile artillery support. The M7 Priest also saw action in the Pacific and throughout the Korean War. In North Africa, the British 8th Army used 90 M7s, and despite supply issues with the right American-made ammunition, the 8th Army continued to use the M7 Priest in the Sicily and Italy campaigns. Several British and Canadian divisions used M7 Priests in the Normandy invasion before they were eventually replaced.
The box contains one resin and metal M7 Priest self-propelled gun, order dice, waterslide decals, and game accessories.
In Bolt Action games, the M7 is classified as a light tank armed with a medium howitzer and can be included in Armored Platoons. It can also be used in games of Achtung Panzer!, a close-quarters tank-on-tank combat game, with its rules available in the Achtung Panzer! rulebook.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.
