Tactics

The Churchill Tank can only be used with the Royal Engineers Doctrine.
The Petard Mortar Cost Munitions to use, so use wisely.
Petard Mortar Rounds can destroy building and emplacements in one or two hits.
The Petard Mortar can also be used to engage units, but it does not do a good job at that and should be used for support mostly.

History

The Churchill AVRE, short for Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers, was a specialist engineering variant of the Churchill IV Infantry Tank. Armed with a 290mm Spigot Mortar, the AVRE was ineffective for tank combat and meant for leveling emplacements and fortifications. The short-ranged mortar carried a significant high explosive charge, and the Churchill's armour allowed it to close-in on defenses that would have knocked out a lighter tank. However loading the mortar required a crew member to expose themselves and manually insert the shell. Their numbers were few and concentrated in the 79th Armoured Division.
