Bolt Action: Opel Blitz/Maultier

Manufacturer: Warlord Games

With armoured half-tracks never being available in the numbers required, the Wehrmacht relied on horse-drawn carts and fleets of trucks to move their materiel around - the most iconic being the Opel Blitz. The Blitz is the classic German truck, seen in virtually every war film crammed with German soldiers and was used throughout the war on all fronts. It gave sterling service whether ferrying up much needed supplies to the front line, transporting troops to their posting or pulling artillery pieces into position.

The Maultier (Mule) version of the Blitz replaced the rear wheels with tracks from British Universal Carriers or obsolete Panzer I tanks. This gave the truck a fighting chance of crossing the cloying mud and deep snows on the inhospitable Eastern Front.

This splendid plastic kit allows you to build either the wheeled Blitz or the halftracked Maultier. In addition you have options on canvas canopy, side panels, open canopy and have even added acetate windows should you choose to include them on your model! That's not all - we have also included a set of ten German soldiers, seated and ready to be ferried to the front lines...
