Bolt Action

The world's first paratroopers to be used in large numbers, the German Fallschirmjager were at the tip of the spear when war broke out in 1939. They led daring assaults on strategic targets, such as the fortress at Eben Emael, enabling the following panzers to overrun Europe. Small units still operated by glider and parachute, famously rescuing Italian leader Mussolini, and raiding behind American lines in the Ardennes. Their finest hour would undoubtly be the bitter fighting as they occupied the monastery at Monte Cassino for months in the face of overwhelming odds, earning themselves the nickname 'Green Devils'. The German Paratroopers were arguably the toughest in a tough army. Contents:

The Sturmgeschütz (StuG) III was a well-armed and armoured vehicle based on the tried and tested Pz.Kpfw III chassis. Manned by the artillery originally, as it was considered a mobile howitzer, it went through many variants during WWII, and indeed was one of the few German AFVs to serve throughout the war on all fronts. The StuG III had good frontal armour, its low profile making it ideal for performing ambushes, presenting a poor target for return fire. It is armed with an efficient and powerful 75mm gun and carries an MG42 for close defence. The StuGs were welcomed by their infantry comrades, supporting their attacks with HE shells or knocking out enemy tanks to the extent that by the end of hostilities, they had amassed more kills than any other German vehicle. This highly detailed plastic kit can be built as either the StuG III Ausf G assault gun or as the 10.5cm Sturmhaubitze infantry support gun. Contents:

• 1 plastic Stug - either 1 x Stug III ausf G or 1 x StuH-42
• 1 decal sheet

This vehicle can also be used in games of Achtung Panzer!, the game of close-quarters tank-on-tank combat, its rules can be found in the Achtung Panzer! rulebook.

Deploy specialist firepower to support your Fallschirmjäger! Well-supplied and trained in the use of a wide selection of weaponry, the Fallschirmjäger paratroopers who fought in the bitter wintry conditions of the Ardennes made good use of a large range of infantry support weapons, both in attack and defence. This box provides you with three infantry weapons teams to reinforce your Bolt Action Fallschirmjäger collection, all clad in thick winter kit. A lethal Panzerschreck anti-tank launcher menaces Allied armour, while a flamethrower team, the backbone of Engineer Platoons, stands ready to incinerate anything before them. Supporting both from afar is the sniper team, armed with a unique scoped variant of the FG 42 paratrooper’s rifle, the bane of enemy officers! Bring up the specialists today!
