Fielding the Panzer 38(t)
The Panzer 38(t) was a tank which was not originally developed by Germany, in fact it was designed in Czechoslovakia as the LT-38 or Light Tank model 38. The tank was designed by the CKD company and was in the early stages of production in 1938 when Czechoslovakia was annexed by the German Reich. Superior to the German Panzer I and II, the Germans continued the production of the LT-38, placing it into service as the Panzer 38(t), where the t stands for tschechisch, the German word for Czech. The continued production of the Panzer 38(t) enabled the Germans to expand their panzer forces and make up for the shortfall in Panzer III and Panzer IV production before the outbreak of the Second World War.

Fielding the StuIG33B: The Bummbär’s Mother
The Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B (Assault-Infantry Gun 33B) was a German self-propelled heavy assault. A new, fully enclosed, and heavily armoured boxy casemate superstructure was built on the chassis of the StuG. It mounted an improved version of the 15cm infantry gun. It had a very poor traverse, though the firepower of the charge was sufficient enough to demolish small buildings.

Great War Book Spotlight
This year we have expanded our original Great War book and expanded it to include full rules and more forces. Great War now uses the same rules system as the new version of Flames Of War, version 4 as is commonly called. Great War has come a long way since it was released as a free booklet with Wargames Illustrated 324. The book now comes with the complete rules, missions and comprehensive forces for the Western Front in 1918.
