Beef up your tank force with the Chi-Nu!

The 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!

On 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.
