German Army Support Group Winter Figures WWII Military Wargaming Kit 402212009

At the German Heer HQ (Winter), officers were capable and experienced leaders. Trained to step into the roles of their superiors, junior officers could rely on their intuition to take charge when needed. An officer unit typically consisted of the officer himself and up to 2 attendants. Due to the high quality of German officers, Bolt Action rules classified them as regular or veteran.

The German Heer (Winter) Medium Machine Gun, known as "Hitler's Buzzsaw," had a rapid fire rate of 1250 rounds per minute, surpassing the British Vickers Machine Gun and American Browning. This firepower offered much-needed support to German infantry. Unlike other armies, the Germans used this machine gun for both squad and tripod-mounted support. The tripod mount provided stability and facilitated continuous firing through a belt feed.

The German Heer (Winter) Medium Mortar Team utilized the Granatwerfer 34, an effective and accurate weapon with a range of 2,400 meters. Crew members could carry it in three pieces: base plate, tube, and bipod. With ample ammunition, it could maintain a rate of fire of 15 to 20 rounds per minute.
