Produktbeschreibung
An essential piece of kit for any Fallschirmjäger Company has to be the mortars, these weapons are light and easy to transport, especially when you're jumping out of a plane. Artillery support is always at hand when your mortar platoon is with you.
The Fallschirmjäger used the shortened 8cm GW42 Stummelwerfer and the 8cm GW34 Granatewerfer which utilised the same ammunition. The Stummelwerfer was lighter and easier to transport, but because of its shorter length only had a range of 1100 metres.
The 8cm Stummelwerfer (stump mortar) was a lightweight and compact weapon, ideal for dropping by parachute to provide immediate close support.
The Fallschirmjäger also used the 10.5cm NbW35 for heavy support. This is modelled by using the GW34 Granatewerfer as the main physical differences were in the girth of the mortar tube.
The pack gives you a complete platoon of 4 mortars teams, 2 observer teams, ammunition containers and drop canister, a command team, 4 medium and 3 small bases. |
