Cromwell Recce
"Neccessity hath no law."
- – Oliver Cromwell, the twat.

The Cromwell Tank also known as the A27M was a cruiser tank of the British forces during World War 2, and of course appears here as a unit for British forces in Flames of War. It was one of their highest performing homegrown armored vehicles during the war, with good armor, and a 75mm gun. The Cromwell was a solid base that led to the development of numerous variants throughout the war. It was the fastest British tank of the war, able to hit 40MPH (64km/h), though some tanks were powered down due to stresses on the drive.
