Wespe Artillery Battery (GBX132)

Wespe Artillery Battery (GBX132)
includes three resin and metal Wespe Self-propelled Guns and one Unit card.

Its weapon was the standard 10.5cm leFH18 howitzer, which provided excellent artillery firepower to the panzer divisions they supported.

The initial Wespe units had their first major engagement at Kursk and performed well in the initial phases suppressing the defending Russian troops as the Panzers rolled forward.
