The German invasion of the Soviet Union was a colossal undertaking, with vast columns of men and vehicles stretching across the vast spaces of Russia. At the head of the invading troops were the Panzer divisions, with their tanks supported by motorised infantry and cyclists, driving deep into the Soviet heartlands. While propaganda footage extensively showed the newest tank designs, the majority of German armoured units were still composed of a mixture of older types, and many infantrymen were forced to march the huge distances into battle. Nevertheless, the forces assembled for Operation Barbarossa were truly enormous in scale.
This bundle lets you field a German force typical of the opening stages of the invasion, with light tanks supported by mobile infantry. Some of the footsoldiers are fortunate enough to ride in the truck and half-track, but others are forced to rely on bicycles, or even walk. However it gets to the battlefield, this force is a potent one! An Armoured Platoon featuring two Panzer IIs and a Czech-designed Panzer 38(t) provides a solid core of mobile firepower, able to take out light armour and infantry, while a Heavy Weapons Platoon ensures that the infantry can go in supported by plenty of direct and indirect fire. The Rifle Platoon itself has great mobility, with cyclists able to range ahead of the main force and seize crucial locations, while truck- and halftrack-mounted troops follow up and consolidate.
Giving you a complete force with a huge range of options for squads and weapons teams, and representing a great saving on buying the components individually, this bundle is the perfect way to launch your own invasion on the tabletop, and can also be used to represent earlier forces in the latter stages of the Blitzkrieg across Western Europe.
Contains 42 plastic infantry and heavy weapons, 5 plastic vehicles and 10 3D printed resin troops on bicycles.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
