Germans

Your German Veterans need good leadership - these men have it in spades! The crucible of battle quickly forged raw recruits into disciplined and respected leaders of men, capable of achieving victory in seemingly impossible situations and keeping their troops alive through even the bloodiest battles. These men, and the specialists who made up their command groups, were essential to the German war effort. Officers, medics, and spotters are an essential part of any Bolt Action collection, supporting their troops with both leadership and powerful special abilities. Every Platoon needs a commander, and this set includes a brace - one senior leader directing the attack, while his junior colleague springs forward to lead it, armed to the teeth. Alongside them, a medic sprints to the aid of a wounded comrade, while a radio operator calls down powerful fire support. Veteran troops need veteran commanders - get yours today! Contains four Warlord Resin German Veteran Infantry figures, and plastic bases.

Bring up some fire support for your German Veteran infantry! Veteran troops would often be reinforced with increased amounts of supporting weaponry, backing up their combat experience with heavy firepower. This box gives you everything you need to add a Heavy Weapons Platoon to your German Bolt Action collection, crewed by Veteran infantry to match the plastic boxed set. A pair of tripod-mounted MG 34 medium machine guns spit fire and lead at the enemy, while the 81mm medium mortar team rains down explosive destruction. Leading them is their Platoon Commander, vitally important both on the tabletop and in the army list! Heavy weapons forward - open fire! Box contains one Warlord Resin German Veteran Infantry officer, two metal medium machine guns with three Warlord Resin German Veteran Infantry crew each and one metal medium mortar with three Warlord Resin German Veteran Infantry crew. Also contains four Bolt Action Order dice, and plastic bases.

The iconic Sd.KLfz 251/1 or Hanomag enabled the infantry, known as Panzergrendiers, to keep pace with the armoured fist of Blitzkrieg. From the first battles of the Low Countries and France to the final defence of the Reich, these halftracks fulfilled every role imaginable, ferrying troops and guns to where they were needed most and providing vital fire support. In games of Bolt Action this is an Armoured Carrier transport with a capacity of 12 men and capable of towing light or medium howitzers; light, medium or heavy anti-tank guns and light or heavy anti-aircraft guns Contains 1 plastic halftrack with crew figures and optional rear MMG plus stowage, construction leaflet and decal sheet.

The Sd.Kfz 250/1 was a reconnaissance and transport half-track mainly used by scout and HQ units. The vehicle was a shortened version of the ubiquitous Sd.Kfz 251 Hanomag series and much like its longer cousin there were many variants fulfilling different roles, such as cable carriers, ammunition carriers and radio carriers, amongst others. It carried six men including the driver and the co-driver and was armed with two pintle-mounted MG34 machine guns, one shielded forward facing and the other covering the rear and air. This model is based on the original 'Alt' (old) version which served through World War II with the forces of Germany in all theatres as well as with their Romanian allies. There are enough parts to build one of the following versions:

• Sd.Kfz 250/1 - the standard version of this armoured half-track.
• Sd.Kfz 250/3 - command variant equipped with a radio aerial frame, famously used by Rommel as his personal command vehicle, Greif (Griffon).
• Sd.kfz 250/10 - platoon commander's half-track with the forward machine gun replaced by a 3.7cm PaK 35/36 anti-tank gun.

It also includes crew figures with separate heads wearing regular or winter uniforms as well as a figure depicting Feldmarschall Erwin Rommel!

The German light infantry support gun mark 18 was a short-barreled 75mm howitzer. It was used throughout the war in most theatres and gave much needed support to the hard-pressed Infantry. It could be towed by light tractor, or even pulled by hand into position where its low profile, small size and rapid fire made it a useful addition to the frontline strength. In games of Bolt Action this can be included in Artillery Platoons and is a Light Howitzer, that can be towed by most vehicles. Contains one metal gun with 3 German Heer Mid to Late War crew and a plastic 60mm round base.

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.

Get some leadership for your Fallschirmjäger today! Fallschirmjäger officers underwent the same rigorous training as the men they commanded, and some of the best combat leaders in the German military came from the ranks of the paratroopers. Accompanied by other specialists, they were a vital part of the Fallschirmjäger in battle. Officers, medics, and spotters are an essential part of any Bolt Action collection, supporting their troops with both leadership and powerful special abilities. Every Platoon needs a commander, and this set provides you with a pair, both clad in thick winter gear. One surveys the battlefield through a cloud of cigar smoke, while the other directs his men into the heat of battle, ready to lead them to victory. Alongside them, a medic tends to a wounded comrade, while a forward observer gets on the radio to call down air or artillery support. Lead from the front today!

Support your Fallschirmjäger with heavy firepower! Benefiting from their inclusion in the Luftwaffe supply system, the Fallschirmjäger paratroopers were well-supplied with supporting weaponry, particularly later in the war when they found themselves fighting as conventional light infantry, such as in the wintry conditions during the Battle of the Bulge. This box gives you everything you need to add a Fallschirmjäger Heavy Weapons Platoon to your German Bolt Action collection, in their iconic winter uniforms. A pair of legendary MG 42s provide deadly direct-fire support in their medium machine gun configuration, while the 81mm medium mortar rains high explosives in lethal arcs. Leading them is their Platoon Commander, vitally important both on the tabletop and in the army list! Bring those heavy weapons up now!
