Unboxing: Bolt Action – Panzer 38(t)
June 26, 2018 by dignity
Justin and John take us through the Panzer 38(t) for Bolt Action by Warlord Games.
Prepare yourself for some epic historical discussions about German farming equipment, tank gimbals and, of course, a discussion over what tank is the cutest tank...
What tanks are in your top three cutest tank list?
Nice looking tank . Always liked the t38 and of course the Marder IIIs built from it . Kit parts – that sight thing that’s on the front panel , is a site for the driver to aim the bow machine gun if no bow gunner . The rear box is for the smoke candles , the box is seen on Pzr II , II and IVs until they moved the smoke launchers to the turret sides . The small solid box on the fender by the jack will be the jack block . You probably could field it as… Read more »
Yep the sight is for the driver. The 38(t) had a Radio Operator/Bow Gunner but the Driver also had a trigger on the steering controls if the Radio operator was busy. This is actually a pretty useful thing and I’m not sure if it ever caught on in things like Sherman’s or Panzer III’s
1. Matilda 1
2. Semovente 75/18
3. M3 Stuart
Another great video, guys. 😀 1) Percentage of German Army circa 1939-40 that was “armored” Of course you guys are right, it’s very small. How small, well, that depends on how you measure it. that kind of depends on how you measure it. If you go by divisions, you’re looking at 10 panzer divisions out of an order of battle of 140 divisions (10 May 1940, 110 divisions involved in Case Yellow, I’m assuming something like 30 garrison or training divisions in addition) – this yields a percentage of about 7%, not including motorized, mechanized, etc).

1 Renault FT31
Favourite 3 would be
Vickers MK VI

Excellent video guys. Love me some 38(t) action. In the Book “Panzer Commander” by Hans von Luck he talks about how German propaganda could turn on a dime. After The Invasion of France he talks about how the Propaganda flipped and Hitler/Goebbels started really pumping up the Panzers and basically pulled a Tzeentch “Just as Planned”. My top Three: 1. 38(t) 2. Crusader. With that sloped turret speeding through the desert it’s so cute until it erupts in flames. 3. Antonov A-40. The Soviet Union’s answer to the Locust and the Tetrarch. They took a T-60 (which is pretty cute… Read more »
Nice video guys. Justin, that track is totally possible to build wrong, I put one of the small front tracks on upside down. D’oh!
But then, I built mine as a Swedish Stridsvagn m/41, so there’s a few small conversions on it. 🙂
