This is the camper's Leopard 2. 
The premier tank of the Brits serves as the harder, costlier cousin of the [[Chieftain]]. World War III in 1985 has caught the British Army's tank forces in a state of transition, as the Challenger had only entered service in 1983 and was experiencing some "technical issues" in those early years. The few tank crews using the Challenger in 1985 would strictly speaking have been the luckiest of their fellows, getting the newest and most advanced tank, but the Chieftain was a far more proven design, and British Army logistics would have had far more parts on hand for it. Still- bloody Russians want a war, they're ruddy well getting a war.

Trading cost-efficiency for being one of the most heavily-armoured tanks in the game, the Challenger is like a Chieftain turned up to 11 points. The near doubling in cost gets you Front Armour 20, Chobham Armour, Theral Imaging and and increased dash speeds. On the downside the high cost means you're always going to struggle not to get flanked because of low numbers. They still suffer the same weakness as Chieftains, namely being completely useless on the move. Offensively they carry the same ROF 2/1 AT22 FP2+ L11 gun as the Chieftain, with all the tank and infantry mulching goodness.

For an extra 2pts per tank, you can upgrade them to ROMOR. This ups the front armour to a mighty 21 and the side armour to 10. This means you can ignore nearly all tank guns at long range, however, you still retain the weaknesses of vulnerable flanks and being outnumbered.

Park them at the back, shoot them and blitz them, at this point you are paying a lot of points for a bunker with paper sides. They will lose to nearly all other tanks if flanked.

The Formation HQ comes in units of 1-2 (remember HQs always pass their last stand); the Combat Unit comes in <s>squadrons</s> ''Troops''of 2-3. All that has been written about the Leopard 2 being cripplingly costed applies to the Chally 1 as well. Also remember, at long range the Milan shoots just as good (AT wise).
