{"product_id":"chi-nu-medium-tank","title":"Bolt Action: Chi-Nu Medium Tank","description":"Beef up your tank force with the Chi-Nu!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Type 3 Chi-Nu medium tank represented the pinnacle of Japanese armoured vehicle development in World War II, with the lighter Chi-Ha and Ha-Go types having proven no match for Allied Shermans. Developed from the successful and well-understood Chi-Ha, the Chi-Nu possessed considerably thicker armour, and crucially a 75mm Type 3 main gun. This was one of the most potent Japanese anti-tank gun designs, and when paired with the improved armour allowed the Chi-Nu to fight on roughly equal terms with the M4 Sherman. Although capable, it would never see combat as the entire production run of a little over 150 was retained for the defence of the Japanese Home Islands, waiting for an invasion which never came. However, it makes for a fascinating historical what-if!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the Bolt Action tabletop, the Chi-Nu allows otherwise extremely lightweight Japanese Armoured Platoons to field a Medium Tank of their own. A 9+ Damage Value combined with a Medium Anti-Tank gun makes the Chi-Nu a thoroughly respectable addition to any Japanese force, and a genuine threat to all armoured vehicles on the tabletop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStudio miniature painted by Darek Wyrozebski.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModels supplied unpainted","brand":"Game Centre Nz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57149357556017,"sku":"402016004","price":87.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/7142\/0212\/files\/402016004_Chi-NuMediumTank01.jpg?v=1793226168","url":"https:\/\/gamecentre.info\/products\/chi-nu-medium-tank","provider":"Game Centre Nz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
