The 12cm sGW43 heavy mortar is based on the Soviet
design. It is light weight, which provides a high degree of
mobility.
Though the mortar is light, it is still capable of delivering
impressively destructive round. It gives the MarineGrenadierkompanie readily available heavy firepower to
either halt an enemy assault or soften up enemy positions.

Initially deliveries of weapons to the forming MarineArtillerie-Regiment 1 were slow, but eventually they were
about secure stocks of captured Soviet weapons. They were
armed with a mix of captured Soviet 12.2cm FH396(r) (obr
1938) howitzers and 8.5cm FlaK39(r) (obr 1939) heavy
anti-aircraft guns.

Army and corps level anti-tank units were often assigned to
support the naval infantrymen. These offered the firepower
required to halt the Red Army's massive tank attacks as they
attempted to pushed through the defensive lines heading for
Berlin.

Volksgrenadier divisions were organised under the new Type

Platoons armed with StG44 assault rifles and MG42 machine-guns and one Schtzen (Shooter or Rifle) Platoon with
a mix of MG42s and K98 rifles. Like most other German
units in 1945 they were heavily supplied with Panzerfausts.

Local Militia
Volkssturm Platoons do not use the German Stormtroopers,
Mission Tactics, or Enjoy the War special rules. Instead, a
Volkssturm Platoon always begins the game on the table.
Ignore all Volkssturm Platoons in your force when determining how many platoons to be held in Reserve.
In addition, a Volkssturm Platoon always begins the game
in Prepared Positions.
World War I veterans, civilian conscripts, old men, young boys,
they have all answered the call of the Fatherland.
A Volkssturm Platoon is rated Reluctant Conscript.

Super-heavy Rockets
The massive 30cm rockets used by the NW42 rocket launchers
are slow to load and therefore the full battery is not always
available to fire on command. A Rocket Launcher Battery
equipped with 30cm NW42 rocket launchers uses the Superheavy Rockets special rule.
Each Werfer-Brigade consisted of two regiments with six
batteries of 15cm NW41 rocket launchers and three heavy
batteries of either 21cm NW42 or 30cm NW42 rocket
launchers, depending on if it was the first or second battalion.
The biggest advantage of Nebelwerfer rocket launchers is their
ability to saturate a wide area quickly with high-explosive
rounds. They are ideal for pinning down an enemy position
while attacking forces approach for the assault.
