As more Challengers made it to the front lines, they began to provide 17pdr support in similar ways as the Sherman Firefly (one tank per troop). The Challenger was better suited to supporting the Cromwell formations than the Firefly as it was able to keep up with the Cromwell better than the slower Sherman due to the Meteor engine. Issuing the Challenger to Cromwell units also made maintenance and repair easier as they shared many of the same components. This became standard with the first Challengers being issued to Cromwell regiments in North-West Europe in August 1944.

This Flames Of War Blister Pack contains one Challenger tank.
