Just to make sure that our Stalingrad collectors don't feel left out, rest easy friends as the Stalingrad range will remain our primary WWII focus despite our foray to the desert. To that end, here are our latest three sets now available for pre-order and all shipping early May.

GERSTAL020 German Signals Observation Team - $164.95
The artillery of both sides played a crucial role in determining the outcome of the Battle of Stalingrad. Because of the close in nature of the fighting and the short sight lines of the urban battlefield, artillery observers often found themselves in extremely close proximity to the enemy and casualties among observers were high. They were prized targets for enemy snipers. First Legion represents this divisional level observation team lead by an officer with scissor scope passing targets to his subordinates to radio back to supporting artillery batteries. As has been said, this very well could be the vanguard or larger pieces to come!

RUSSTAL010 Russian PTRS-41 Anti-Tank Rifle Team Moving - $109.95
RUSSTAL011 Russian PTRD-41 Anti-Tank Rifle Team Laying Firing - $109.95

The Russians up to this point are pretty heavily outgunned by their German counterparts. Though realistic on some level, these latest releases are the first of several efforts to come to redress this balance. The PTRS/PTRD Anti-Tank rifles played a crucial role in the Battle of Stalingrad. Normally not very effective weapons, but the close in nature of fighting in built up areas isn't suitable for armor and allows for many opportunities for rear/flank shots. We have done one team moving into position and a second team hiding amongst the rubble ready to fire.
