Bolt Action: Panzer Lehr Squad
Product number:
WLG402212010
Bolt Action Sale
Manufacturer:
Warlord Games
28mm Scale
The Panzer Lehr Division (armoured training division) was built in 1943 from the veterans of the North Africa, Sicily and Italy campaigns. These highly experienced troops formed the core of this training and demonstration unit and as such was considered an elite formation from its inception.
In 1944, the Panzer Lehr Division took part in the invasion of Hungary before moving to France to await the Allied invasion of Europe. Unlike other panzer divisions of the German wehrmacht, all the panzergrenadiers of the Panzer Lehr were mounted on half-tracks, making it the only fully mechanised unit in the German army. In addition, they were the first to fight alongside the new Tiger II tanks. They also wore a distinctive double-breasted assault gun-style jacket instead of the normal Heer field blouse.
Metal components.
Contents:
10 Figures
10 Round Plastic Bases (25mm)

Good, but probably too many machine pistols and Panzerfausts.
This is your typical WeeGee metal quality. They scale well with the other WeeGee plastics. There are very few mold lines. My only complaint are the excess of MP40 armed men and men with panzerfausts. Panzer Lehr was supposed to be a fully equipped, armored half track division. Field conditions quickly changed that as casualties mounted. Usually MP40s were for NCOs and leadership. The common grunt usually had a KarK rifle. I argue that this division fought well, but not too well. Most veterans want to go home. I doubt there was fanatical frevor for the mutterland with these guys. These men were better served training young soldiers. I digress... I used this kit to supplement a box of Atlantic Wargames Panzer Lehr. This box provided all the NCOs, an LMG team and panzerfaust armed riflemen. The AG box gave all the rifle armed men, LMG teams and the LT. Just add some half tracks (three or four) and you have a fully armored, filthy Panzer Lehr platoon ready for trouble.
