Flames of War: German - FJ 10.5cm Artillery Battery (x4 Guns Plastic)

The 10.5cm leFH 18 light field howitzer's main mission was to support German attacks and to shatter enemy counterattacks before they reached their objective. They also provided a base of fire in a last-ditch line of defence.

The 10.5cm leFH 18 howitzer was introduced into service with the German army in 1935 and continued to be used throughout the war. In 1940 a more powerful charged round was introduced to increase the howitzer's range out from 10,675 to 12,325 metres. To help the recoil mechanism to cope with the increased recoil a muzzle brake was added to the end of the barrel. Though the 10.5cm leFH 18 howitzer is a reasonably modern design is was still very heavy and all but impossible for the crew to move quickly, and even then not without the aid of a tractor of limber team.

Expert artillery support enhances the already substantial capabilities of the Fallschirmjäger, making accomplishing their missions, whether it be defensive or offensive, much easier.
