New Firepower Arrives for Bolt Action’s Finnish Army!
November 29, 2014 by stvitusdancern
If you play Bolt Action, and not the Germans, perhaps you have had Howitzer envy. If you play the Finnish army, things just took a turn for the better for you as Warlord introduces the 105 H/33 Howitzer!
Finland purchased 53 howitzers from Germany, naming them the 105 H/33. All of these new weapons were delivered in the first half of 1944. The 105 H/33 were issued to three Light Artillery Battalions (17th, 20th and 23rd) and later also to 3rd Artillery Battalion of Field Artillery Regiment 9. All of these units were horse-towed and each received a dozen 105 H/33 howitzers.
Will you be using this Howitzer to destroy your enemies in your next Bolt Action game?
Well…. Finland does have it all 😀
Aha! I see what you did there! 😛
HA! I was hoping to save it for maybe an episode as I’m Finland nuts.. but I couldn’t resist
That is rather good.
Nice model but would/does this kind of artillery see much action in Bolt Action scale games?
Probably not big guns seem to be out of place. What I want is a Stumi tank or even just an upgrade kit for any Stug (tree tri is concrete bits for the front counter weight for the back and a different MG) how hard is that to make….
Lafayette, I am going to be modelling a Stumi very soon. I can let you know what I use to update the Stug III. My avatar is of the Stumi. This will offer an idea on how to fix it to the specifications you may desire.
I found a website explaining the steps a modeller used to create a Stumi in 1/38 scale. Very in depth (thought you would enjoy that 😉 )The site is a part one and part two. Part one offers an extensive history about the Stumi with references to other sites at the bottom. Part two is the build. I attached part two for you to gander.
