Flames of War: Afrika Korps – Panzer IV Tank Platoon
The Panzer IV equips one company in each tank battalion. Its role is to provide heavy fire support for the lighter Panzer III tanks of the other companies. Initially, the companies had two platoons of short-barrelled Panzer IV tanks as artillery support. As the Battle of Gazala progressed, long-barrelled versions arrived, replacing the artillery support role with a heavy anti-tank capability.
After the Battle of El Alamein, the proportion of Panzer IV tanks increased, so the fourth company's third platoon was sometimes equipped with Panzer IV tanks as well.
Set Includes:
