The Panzer Lehr took part in the occupation of Hungary, prior to Normandy, I believe to prevent Hungary surrendering. It was, as far as I know, the only Panzer Division to have all it's Panzer Grenadier battalions mounted in half tracks, the others as you say, relied mostly on trucks. I was quite pleased when I found out that there's 9 halftracks in the box and not the 8, that the box says there is. I think they forgot the HQ halftrack. The Nebelwerfer sprue is the same as the PaK36 37mm gun, in which you can do the normal 37mm barrel or the one with Steilgranate. The other gun barrels are acutally Soviet 45mm guns! I know as I've got some of those too. I've also noticed you get a lot more infantry models then you need. You can make a full 7 team Grenadier platoon with one of the main Grenadier sprues, plus 3 Panzerschrek/HQ sprues and you'll even have enough left over to make your formation HQ, not to mention the 10 PL metal figures. They used to do a Flakpanzer 38T in the previous editions of FoW, it's a shame they didn't bring them back for this D-day revival. The AA halftracks are handy for shooting at light vehicles and they give you another platoon, in your formation, making it a little harder to break, you could use them to help defend objectives. I think it's not a bad box for anyone, wanting to start a late war Panzer Grenadier army. Buy some of the halftrack armoured mortars and stummels and you've got a great army. I woud prefer Wespes to Nebelwerfers, as I think SP artillery is more in keeping with the army theme. Going back to the previous version of FoW, there was a proper Panzer Lehr army list in the D-Day book and they hade a 'radio controlled' company, which you could use early King Tigers or Stugs, with the Bogrward demolition vehicles. That would have been interesting to bring back now.

Great unboxing, I expected some special cards like Clausewitz, in another timeline I had definitely gotten a set.

Nice video. If I remember correctly the spoked wheels on the Nebelwerfer sprue is fpr the soviet 47mm AT gun. This can also build from it using the longest gun. The resin Sd.Kfz. 10/4 looks great because it is a (relativly) new sculpt I guess, released when V4 started. I have some 10/4s back from the V3 days. It had no driver moulded in, the side panels were seperate metal pieces and the gun was a multi piece metal. This one looks so much better, especialy the plastic gun.

Yeah, plastic guns are a cast improvement - they are straight and stay that way...

You can make the 45mm obr 1937 and obr 1942 , also the 3.7cm PaK36 with and without Stielgranate .

Great unboxing as always Sir, will you be doing the other 3 army deals? I shall wait eagerly if you are! 👍🏻

We have done the 7th armoured Div one, which is up for members now and will release in a week or so. The others I did not buy this time round. If they are still around in a month or so I might do.
