Unternehmen Kriegskätzchen

 

Following the unmitigated disaster at Stalingrad the German forces have been forced back into The Ukraine. A bitter fighting retreat has seen Army Group South brought to its knees. In the haste to withdraw several smaller units are cut off and surrounded.

 

One of these units is “Kampfgruppe Whelan”. A small unit of tanks and Panzergrenadiers. Kampfgruppe Whelans parent unit, the 23rd Panzer Division was recently supplied with the latest of German tank engineering, the mighty Tiger tank. Its 88mm gun able to knock out any other tank at ranges in excess of 2000 meters. Fighting a desperate battle against both the cold and the Red Army this small unit must fight its way across several kilometers of enemy territory to reach safety.

Request that one of the G43's in the Pz. Grenadier squad is made an MP40

@GySgt Falconer

"Kampfgruppe Whelan" has two spare MP40 in inventory, to be issued at the discretion of the commander @Capt Whelan

ACHTUNG!

The roster has seen some adjustments especially in regards to weapons issued and the organization of the Panzergrenadier squad. Historically a Panzergrenadier Squad was split into two fireteams, one led by the Squad leader and the other by the Deputy Squad leader (2IC). Each fireteam also possess an MG42 giving each fireteam a significant increase in firepower over the regular infantry squad. Each fireteam can thus support the other with machinegun fire.

 

 Research also seems to indicate that even the highly vaunted Panzergrenadiers were rarely able to field a full complement of the G43 rifle. The Kar98k was the primary rifle all the way until the end of the war and the Roster now reflects that, with G43s reserved for only a few soldiers. @Capt Whelan@SSgt Songsyou will still have a few extra MP40s in inventory to distribute as you see fit.
