Blitzkrieg Project

So the idea behind the Blitzkrieg tactic was hitting hard and fast. For the hard part I already added a lot of fire power (with more to come – don’t you worry) but for the fast part the SdKfz 222 could use some help in form of a fast armoured tracked vehicle with enough fire power to scare away enemy scouts: here comes the Panzer II freshly assigned to my German battalion.

Fast advance also means fast supply or mobility for infantry fighting alongside the tanks, so it was time to add a supply truck to my force: the Krupp Protze.

It could transport ammunition, fuel or repair supply to the tanks in the field or deploy infantry to quickly move around troops where they are most needed or to keep up with the tanks to redeploy them to the front – a real workhorse of my army!

Speaking of deploying troops to the front the SdKfz 251 halftrack combines mobility with light armor and firepower to securly deploy troops. To represent that I added a seated infantry squad to my halftrack which can be swapped with the original gunner.
