Flames of War: Grenadier Company (plastic)

This box contains the components to build 20 15mm Grenadierr Infantry Teams. This represents a Grenadier Company such as might have defended the beaches at the time of D-Day.

Contains:

• 2 Formation Command MP40 SMG Teams,
• 2 Unit Leader MG42 and K98 Rifle Teams,
• 12 MG42 and K98 Rifle Teams,
• 4 Panzerschreck Anti-tank Teams
• 4 Unit Cards.

The troops assigned to defend the beaches of France against the Allied invasion had been deemed unfit for front-line service. They spent more of their time building fortifications than training, but their lack of combat skills mattered less when they stuck to their intended defensive role, but did limit their capability in offensive operations.
