German 15cm Nebelwerfer 41 Rocket Launcher
Details
Description
Nebelwerfer literality means smoke launcher, an apt if somewhat misleading name for the German rocket launcher. When firing, the Nebelwerfer leaves an impressive trail of smoke behind the trajectory of the rockets, often making the battery vulnerable to counter-battery fire. It could however fire smoke as well as high-explosive rounds.
The Nebelwerfer was developed in the early 1930s. The 15cm Nebelwerfer 41 was the most common German rocket-launching artillery piece. It had six barrels; each barrel fired a 34-kilogram 15cm rocket (Wurfgranate 41) out to a range of about 6800 metres. The bundle of launch tubes was mounted on the modified carriage of a light 3.7cm PaK 36 anti-tank gun.
This Flames of War blister pack contains 3 large bases, 3 Nebelwerfers and 15 crew figures and command figures.
