Bolt Action: Afrika Korps Support Group (HQ, Mortar & MMG)
The Afrika Korps Support Group will provide the perfect mix of weapons and firepower to increase your units success on the battle, in Bolt Action!
Afrika Korps HQ
German officers were capable and often experienced leaders. Junior officers were trained to undertake the role of their immediate superiors, enabling them to use their initiative to take control of situations when necessary. The Afrika Korps (DAK) proved this through consistent victories as well as elusiveness in retreat.
Afrika Korps Medium Machine Gun
The Germans were equipped with two excellent machine guns. The MG34 and infamous rapid-firing MG42. Unlike other armies, the Germans used the same machine gun both as a squad weapon from its bipod and as a tripod-mounted support weapon. The tripod mounted provided a much more stable firing platform, providing accurate and intense fire power.
Afrika Korps Medium Mortar
The standard German medium mortar of the war was the 80mm Granatwerfer 34. It was a very effective and accurate weapon. With a maximum range of 2,400 meters, it could provide on-call fire support at a longer ranges. It featured a rate of fire of 15-20 rounds per minute and was carried by its crew in three pieces, a base plate, tube and bipod, for improved mobility.
