Product Description:
Miniatures are supplied unpainted and assembly may be required.
The Sherman firefly was arguably the best combat version of the Sherman. Armed with the excellent 17pdr gun it gave the British and Commonwealth armoured forces the ability to destroy even the heaviest German tanks.
The Firefly was originally built as a temporary alternative to the Challenger, an up gunned Cromwell, but was so successful that it overtook the troubled Challenger design as the main tank armed with the 17pdr.
Sherman Firefly tanks accompanied even the Cromwells of the 7th Armoured Division.
The first Firefly tanks were conversions of the M4A4, or Sherman V, the Firefly Vc. The US stopped production of this model in 1943, which led to the British development of the Firefly IC and Firefly IC (Hybrid).
The M4A4 (Sherman V) would have been the most numerous model of Sherman to arrive on the beaches of Normandy in June ’44 under the British and Canadian flags.
Basically this Sherman had a lengthened hull (the extra space between the bogies is most noticeable) by about 6" to accommodate the type of engine fitted. This engine was the Chrysler WC multi bank 370hp, which was 5 automobile engines joined to a common crankshaft! It proved to be very reliable and the British liked them and were most upset when production of this model stopped at the end of 1943.
Over 2000 Shermans were converted to Fireflies by British ordnance factories (the British designation system adds a "c" to denote a 17pdr armed tank, i.e. Sherman Vc). The most common model of Sherman Firefly at first was the M4A4 (Sherman Vc).
The Firefly was issued on the basis of one per troop at first and as more became available you could find up to two per troop. They were also issued to some British armoured units equipped with Cromwell.
The firefly in Flames of War is a great enemy tank killer with an AP of 13 and FP of 3+ but with Armour of 6/4/1 you don’t have that much steel to protect you from rounds coming the other way! The hull MG has been removed to give more stowage for those deadly 17pdr rounds as well.
The Firefly is best used as a long distance tank killer while the 75mm armed Shermans or Cromwells carry out their offensive manoeuvring.
Your late war British, Commonwealth or Allied Sherman or Cromwell tank Squadron will usually have one firefly per troop in North west Europe in 1944 and maybe two per troop in the Sherman equipped Regiments from the end of 1944 onwards.
In Italy they didn’t arrive until quite late in the war and you would be lucky to have enough to give one to each troop.

Our Grading System
To ensure a smooth transaction, please review our grading system below as well as the Shipping Information tab before bidding. Be sure to review the exact condition (and any condition notes / incompleteness notes located next to the title and description) before purchase. All pictures are stock photos unless otherwise specified.
SW
Shrink Wrapped. Still in the original factory shrink wrap, with any condition visible through shrink noted. For example, ?SW (NM)? means shrink wrapped in near-mint condition.
MINT
Perfect. Brand new.
NM
Near Mint. Like new with only the slightest wear, many times indistinguishable from a Mint item. Close to perfect, very collectible. Board & war games in this condition will show very little to no wear, and are considered to be "punched" unless the condition notes "unpunched."
EX
Excellent. Lightly used, but almost like new. May show very small spine creases or slight corner wear. Absolutely no tears and no marks, a collectible condition.
VG
Very Good. Used. May have medium-sized creases, corner dings, minor tears or scuff marks, small stains, etc. Complete and very useable.
FAIR
Very well used, but complete and useable. May have flaws such as tears, pen marks or highlighting, large creases, stains, marks, a loose map, etc.
POOR
Extremely well used and has major flaws, which may be too numerous to mention. Item is complete unless noted.
More Condition Details
Miniatures
come unpainted and unassembled, unless specifically noted. Assembly is required for most miniatures and model kits.
Boxed Items
are listed as "code/code" where the first code represents the box, and the second code describes the contents. When only one condition is listed, then the box and contents are in the same condition. If a book is listed in the same fashion, the first code represents the cover, and the second code the interior. For example a boxed game listed as VG / NM indicates that the outer box is in Very Good Condition, while the contents are in Near Mint Condition.
A "+" (plus) sign
indicates that an item is close to the next highest condition. Example, EX+ is an item between Excellent and Near Mint condition. A "-" (minus) sign indicates the opposite.
Major defects
and/or missing components are noted separately.
Boardgame Counters
are punched, unless noted. Due to the nature of loose counters, if a game is unplayable we will send you the parts or it may be returned for a refund of the purchase price.
Dice
In most cases, boxed games and box sets do not come with dice.
Cardboard Backing
of miniature packs is not graded. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "card worn."
Flat Trays
for SPI games and similar are not graded. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "tray worn."
