General Der Panzertruppen Von Saucken

As commander of Kampfgruppe von Saucken and later the XXXIX. Panzerkorps, General der Panzertruppen von Saucken was
still available to provide his expertise to the divisions under his command.

General der Panzertruppen von Saucken is mounted in a Sd Kfz 250 half-track. He is a Warrior and a Higher Command
SMG team rated as Fearless Veteran. Von Saucken may join a 4. Panzerdivision, 5. Panzerdivision or 19. Panzerdivision
company for +65 points.

Counterattack Expert
Von Saucken was repeatedly called upon by Der Führer to prevent Soviet breakthroughs
with thrown together forces. Von Saucken’s proven ability to organize and launch mobile
counterattack became his forte, having demonstrated his tactical skill many times on the
Eastern Front.
All platoons within Command Distance of von Saucken may reroll any failed Skill Tests to
make Stormtrooper moves.

Panzers March
Von Saucken‘s keen tactical abilities and strong leadership skills provided his forces the
opportunities to provide decisive force when needed to stop Soviet spearheads. Time and
again, across the Eastern Front, von Saucken’s units managed to apply the right force at the
right point in meeting Soviet advancing formations.
Each turn von Saucken may re-roll one die rolled to receive Reserves for his company.

Rocket support in the form of the 15cm NW41 rocket

launcher provides extremely effective artillery fire on any
advancing enemy infantry.
They are particularly effective when they can catch the enemy
in the open. Their continuous bombardment can break the
back of an assault leaving the few remaining survivors to be
eliminated by your machine-guns or dug-in infantry.
Increasing the number of launchers to your batteries enhances
their destructiveness. This can provide the firepower support
essential to halting large Soviet assault battalions.
Adding a 7.5cm PaK40 anti-tank gun can keep enemy
armoured reconnaissance from harassing your rocket
launchers.

As more and more Luftwaffe assets were released to the
German Army for defence, the FlaK Nest became an excel-
lent complement to a static defensive positions. It’s ability
to defend against light armour and infantry and still hold
the ‘Jabos’ at bay provided a flexible response to advancing FlaK Nest bunker
enemy forces. Flak nest

Though immobile, its heavy bunkering kept it safe from all
but the highest calibre guns. Additionally the high rate of
fire of the quad 20mm guns delivers a devastating attack on
armoured transports and assaulting infantry.
Anchoring your defence around a few FlaK Nest gives
the enemy a tough nut to crack. Overlapping fire of two
or more FlaK Nest can halt even the largest Soviet assault
formations.
FlaK Nests in your company
Placing 2cm FlaK 38 anti-aircraft guns at roof top level
in local houses gave them cover and concealment while
still being able to fire as anti-aircraft and anti-person-
nel weapons. This was especially effective against Soviet
aircraft and advancing Red Army infantry.
The Germans generally built their FlaK Nests in abandoned
buildings, filling up the areas below and around the Flak
Nest with rubble to prevent collapse, increase survivability
and to limit entry. FlaK Nests are therefore open bunkers
and not buildings and cannot be entered by any team.
You can either model your FlaK Nest on ground level or as
a single story building with a base size equal to an Artillery
base. If it is destroyed it becomes a destroyed bunker and is
Impassable terrain.

FlaK Nests Special Rules
You must place FlaK Nests in your deployment area before
any objectives are placed. FlaK Nests follow the rules for
Bunkers (page 210 in the rulebook) in all respects, except
FlaK Nests:
• Have a 360 degree field of fire.
• Cannot be placed within 8 “/20cm of another bunker
or FlaK Nest.
Shooting at FlaK Nests
Roll a Skill Test to hit a FlaK Nest at less than 16”/40cm
range.
Roll a Firepower Test to Pin Down the FlaK Nest.
When a hit Pins Down a FlaK Nest, the shooting player
immediately makes a second Firepower Test for the shooting
weapon:
• A successful test will Destroy the FlaK Nest.
• A failed test leaves the FlaK Nest Pinned Down, but
other­wise unharmed.
However, guns with the No HE attribute cannot Destroy
a FlaK Nest.
