I need a bigger house!

And how am I going to paint all these new goodies? Gotta be done though...

Hello GHQ!

It's very great to have the full list !
But, is there not a mistake in the amount indicated for the model PZIII ARV ?
Only one model per pack ? Wow !... very expensive model

2 models per pack would be better.
3 models per pack would be great !

Can you confirm the final amount please ?

Since they don't refer to the pack as "Bergepanzer III", I wonder if they actually ARE including the "recovery anchor" equipment with it.
That would be OK and explain the "1" per pack, though I think I'd rather have 2 Panzers.
I guess we'll see when the photo is posted; no purchase till then, and maybe none at all if it IS just one ARV per pack- 2 or 3 item packs are bad enough.
Considering past ARV releases, I think 3 per pack is too much to hope for.

Do you mean a pack with 1 Bergepanzer III and 1 Bergeanker?
Quite possible as the recoveryvehicles are usually 2 per pack.

TAMMY:
Yes, that's what I meant. It's pure speculation on my part, but it would explain what appears to be an incredibly high price.
Do you possibly know how many Bergeankers were actually built?

CG2 · Post by **CG2** » Sat Jul 05, 2014 8:20 pm

About 150 according to my sources.

TAMMY · Post by **TAMMY** » Sat Jul 05, 2014 8:49 pm

The total producrtion of Bergepanzer III was a total of 176.

For bergeankers I do not know but I have found the following in the book Repairing the panzer", on a drawing showing the anchor in use:
"The recovery manual showed the use of the "panzerbergeanker" developed by the Pionier Truppen. If the anchor made further than trials is unknown. One mention was found on K.St.N.1151 of 1944 which stated that if the Bergepanzerwagen IV had a cable winch, the corresponding number of anchors was dropped".

This means that the anker was used with any tracked recovery vehicles without winch and not only with the BergepazIII,

Thanks guys.
I had a production number for the Bergepanzer III, just not the "anchor"; but I strongly suspected "not very many".
Hopefully, if the pack IS "1 + 1", they will also offer a pack with just 2 ARV's...

Anyone find any more info on the use of the 135 Lorraine "Stuka" rocket carrier?
I'm not seeing much at all...

Photos are now up in the online catalog for W98. W99, and GWH5. No photos yet, but there is a listing of the weapon types in W96 and W97.

I notice in the description for the Russian Infantry Heavy Weapons that it states : SA-23 SAM 2-tube launcher, Krasnopol laser target designator. Looking these up, the SA-23 is a large vehicle-mounted SAM, so I'm guessing this should be a SA-18 Grouse or SA-24 Grinch?

As for the Krasnopol, it appears to be only used for medium calibre artillery systems in the the 152mm category so could this be for some sort of Forward Artillery Controller team?

TAMMY · Post by **TAMMY** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 9:34 pm

The SA-18 has a 2 tube launcher called Dijgit

The laser designator should be a 1D20 or 1D22 LTD for Krasnopol.
