Heer46: HEER46 - Fallschirmjäger in Italy - Kickstarter


Heer46: When one hears Fallschirmjäger, Crete is the first thing many think of. But even after 1941 they were sent on many missions, often as a "fire brigade" that turned the tide of a battle. Monte Cassino, Unternehmen Eiche or Ortona (also known as Little Stalingrad) are names that tell the story of the later years, of the Fallschirmjäger in Italy. And like the Gebirgsjäger, the Fallschirmjäger were equipped with specialized equipment, like the Leichtgeschütze or the Raketenwerfer Püppchen. After the mud and snow on the Eastern Front and the mountains of the Caucasus, Heer 46 this time covers the Southern front, i.e. the Fallschirmjäger in Italy from 1943 on.


The basic units will - as always - consist of 2 x 10 soldiers and also feature a Mortar Team and a Heavy MG. With regard to the equipment we will focus on the summer uniforms, i.e. short trousers and shirts, etc., worn by the Fallschirmjäger in Italy. We will also cover the fights in and around Montecassino and provide extra add-ons for it. Another hot spot will be the spectacular "Unternehmen Eiche", the rescue of Mussolini by a commando unit of the Fallschirmjäger. As before we will have a closer look at the specialized equipment of the Fallschirmjäger and make as much as possible available to you. Check the Kickstarter here

You are in for quite some surprises! A novelty of this Kickstarter is the fact that all miniatures will be sculpted digitally. Our test-miniatures have already been painted by Ruben and the quality of the digitally sculpted miniatures is excellent. Who is Heer46 and what's the goal of the campaign? Heer46 is a German company that focuses on 1:100 and 1:56 scale tabletop-miniatures. Founded in 2011, it offers a wide range of vehicles and add-on equipment.
