Boom! This week we release two variants of the classic German light field howitzer – the 10.5cm leFH 18…

This first variant of the iconic German howitzer is the heavier of the two versions with it’s original steel wheels and heavy split trails.  Although this version would see action through to the war’s end we have crewed it with German soldiers dressed for the earlier years of the war – perfect for invading Poland, the Low Countries and France as well as pushing deep into the Soviet Union!

Supplied with a four man crew and 3 piles of ammunition crates/shells this will make a mess of your opponent’s best laid plans…

The Finnish and Bulgarian Armies also made use of this gun so expect to see the 105 H33 with Finnish crew before long!

As with the earlier version, the leFH 18/40 is supplied with four crew (this time dressed for action during 1943-45) and the usual piles of crates and shells.
