Since my last DAK post I've been working on the platoon support elements to back up the infantry and give them some more punch. I'm also rather under the weather at the moment so I'm not entirely sure what is going on with the colouration, it does look rather desert'y' though.
First up we have the scout section with their Kubelwagon, as with all the elements in this post they have a direct counterpart in the Commonwealth list. So we have three chaps packed into the Kubelwagon which is much smaller than the Jeep who are packing an LMG.
Then we have a medium mortar ready to rain down fire on the enemy. In the desert campaign the effects of artillery and mortars where amplified by the hardness of the ground (much of it was a thin layer of sand over rock) and the lack of objects to hide behind.
Whilst the German LMG is better than it's Commonwealth counterpart the MMG version has no such superiority. It still throws out 4D8 a shot though so can't be ignored.
Finally we have a PAK 38 light anti-tank gun. This should be strong enough to worry any armour we deploy onto the table. It was also somewhat easier to put together than the 6PDR the Indians are fielding.
Oh, and some spare crew!
