Flames of War: German Volkssturm Mortar Platoon
Includes 17 metal figures - four Mortar teams, one Command Rifle team and one Observer Rifle team, four plastic medium bases and two small bases, one plastic base insert sprue.
The Volkssturm (People's Militia) represent Germany's last line of defence. It was drawn from ranks of the population previously considered unfit for military service, including younger boys (aged 13-18) and older men (many of whom were veterans of World War I).
Volkssturm units received only rudimentary military training, and their equipment was a motley collection of standard-issue German equipment and simplified weapons designed for militia use. Some units, though, were better equipped than others. The Seimensstadt (Seimens City) Volkssturm battalion had its own weapons company with heavier weapons such as mortars.
Local Militia
Volkssturm Platoons do not use the German Stormtroopers, Mission Tactics, or Enjoy the War special rules. Instead, a Volkssturm Platoon always begins the game on the table. Ignore all Volkssturm Platoons in your force when determining how many platoons to be held in Reserve. In addition, a Volkssturm Platoon always begins the game in Prepared Positions.
