German Heavy Mortar platoon - FoW

In the run up to CTA this year, I got myself in quite a frenzy of indecision about what army list to take to the event. It's tough trying to come up with the best list that can deal with all possible situations and foes!

 I thought I had it sorted, then with a week or so to go, a last minute panic change had me ripping open a blister pack to get it done in time for the event!

 As it happened after getting it half done, I changed my mind again and took a different list, that I had everything ready for.

But no matter, I finished the platoon off anyway; 12cm Heavy Mortars for my Wehrmacht forces. No doubt they will come in useful.

The reason I wanted to take them, was that whilst my Nebelwerfers are useful cheap artillery, they haven't got the greatest punch in the world, and I got frustrated at hitting things but not killing them with the Nebs. The Heavy Mortars have nearly as a good range, as the Nebs, but a bit of a stronger hit. The downside is they don't have the smoke bombardment option...

They will be a useful platoon no doubt, and useable throughout the war periods.

I look forward to trying them out.
