Skoda 100mm Howitzer (RO580)

Skoda 100mm howitzer (RO580) with two Skoda 100mm howitzers, two sets of Gun crew & two Large bases. After the losses during the Stalingrad campaign the infantry divisions’ artillery was reduced to two two-battalion regiments in 1944. The Romanians re-equipped the Artillery Regiments with 100mm howitzers, but large numbers of 75mm guns remained in service in 1944.

Initially plans also included 150mm guns for the divisions, but these larger weapons remained in independent units at corps level and were never issued to the divisions.

"When firing bombardments, the Skoda 100mm howitzer has plenty of range and the firepower to soften up dug in infantry anywhere on the tabletop."
