So I did a little something in the five minutes between things today. These bad boys are M75 "Westmoreland" heavy battle tanks of the U.S. Colonial Army - not yet properly based, of course. If you think the war on Linna 349 is confined to the Colonial Marines you're mistaken. Distinguished by the yellow flashes, these main battle tanks, too large for transport by even the heaviest Marine dropcraft, are from the First Cav, the vanguard unit of the USCA forces on Linna 349.

After six weeks of intense fighting around New Harare, the Marines took the main air station, allowing superheavy "Montana" Class ISSCV landers to begin bringing down the heavier equipment and full battalions of Colonial Army forces. Unfortunately, by then, the Chinese, under the cloak of a Three Nations Alliance mandate, also began a major intervention, and Russian Confederation Spetsnaz troops showed up in raids along Highway 9. The arrival of First Cav heavy tanks like these brought the war into a new phase of heavy fighting as the front line moved away from New Harare and towards Port Nyrere.
These minis are from the excellent new line from Microworld.
