The Matilda Mk. II was an armored monster that, like the B1 bis, was long considered to be impenetrable. But that robust armor came at the price of very slow movement. As for its armament, its 2 pdr. (40mm) anti-tank gun was soon outdated and unworthy of such a sturdy chassis. Quite cheap and readily available from the outbreak of the war, the Matilda is perfect first-line shield for more fragile but better armed units.

History[]

The Matilda was a great sucess in the early part of the war, particularly in the desert war, but it was hindered by it's slow speed and it's own armament, which was not sufficient against German Panzers; Italian tanks, though, were easy pickings.
