Its mobility and armour make it ideal for supporting armoured operations where it can bombard or smoke-screen troublesome anti-tank guns, freeing the tanks to keep on with their attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ram Kangaroo provided a solution to tough German defensive lines. It allowed the infantry to advance through enemy artillery fire right into the teeth of the enemy machine-guns before having to expose themselves to enemy fire. The infantry were delivered to close range, where they dismounted for the final assault to clear the enemy from the objective. The Kangaroos’ machine-guns helped suppress the enemy machine-guns to ensure the success of the infantry assault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the M4 Sherman, the Ram was designed as a replacement for the M3 Lee tank. Following British design principles, the Ram mounted a 6 pdr anti-tank gun rather than the Sherman’s dual-purpose 75mm. This resulted in a smaller and lighter, but better armoured tank. Historically, the widespread availability of the American-built Sherman tank and the advantages of  standardisation meant that while the Canadians trained on Ram tanks, they did not use them in combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHIS PRODUCT CONTAINS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x Sexton (25 pdr) Self-propelled Guns, Ram Kangaroo Transports, or Ram Tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Battlefront","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48435530596603,"sku":"BF-BBX76","price":69.75,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/6239\/6411\/files\/bbx76_1.jpg?v=1773800427","url":"https:\/\/warandpeacegames.com.au\/products\/flames-of-war-british-sexton-or-ram-troop","provider":"War and Peace Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
