Restock: StuG III Ausf F
About the StuG III:
The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) is a infantry support vehicle produced by Germany in World War II. After lessons learned in the Great War, the Germans developed pinpoint artillery fire to break up enemy strong points such as machine gun nests and fortifications encountered by advancing infantry. The first prototype Stürmgeschutz vehicles were manufactured in 1937 based on the newly-designed Panzer III chassis. Early variants of the StuG III (Ausf A-D) featured a 7.5cm short-barrel howitzer mounted in a low casement. The first Stürmartillerie battalions were formed from troops taken from Army artillery units.
The StuG III first saw action during the invasion of Poland in 1939. It became the most widely produced armored vehicle used by the Wehrmacht and saw several upgrades and improvements throughout the war.
When faced with more heavily armored Russian tanks such as the T-34 and KV-1, a long barrel high velocity gun was fitted, beginning with the Ausf F series in 1942. During the invasion of Russia, the StuG III’s role increasingly shifted from assault artillery to tank destroyer.

New Release: D-Type – WWI British Staff Car
About D-Type – WWI British Staff Car:
At about the same time Henry Ford began producing Model T’s in the United States, Vauxhall set out to design a car for the war effort. The onset of the Great War saw an expansion of automobile design and production. The “D-Type” model was reserved for military commanders and their staff, who often preferred it to horses. In the age of the machine gun and barbed wire, motor vehicles in all forms began to replace horses as the main mode of transportation both in and out of battle. Along with planes and tanks, the automobile would prove to be another major field of advancement during the Great War.

New Release: Type J Lorry – With QF 13-Pounder AA Cannon
About Type J Lorry – With QF 13-Pounder AA Cannon:
Much like other new weapons seen during the Great War, the first anti-aircraft guns were crude in nature. Some of the first British AA weapons would be 13-pound guns mounted in the bed of a Thornycraft J-type lorry. This equipment would also be accompanied by two other lorries carrying range-finding equipment and ammunition.
Early AA weapons faced new problems never seen before in combat. Unlike ground targets, aircraft can effectively move in three dimensions. The weapon would not only have to accurately target the aircraft, but also fire rounds with enough velocity to reach great altitudes. These techniques would be refined as the war continued, but little data exists as to how effective these weapons were in downing enemy aircraft.
Specifications:
- Maximum elevation of fire: 80+ degrees
- Vertical range: 13,000 feet (about 4000m)
- Velocity: 520m/sec (1,700ft/sec)
