New Panzer II (Plastic)

Reinforce your light armour with the Panzer II!

The Panzer II was the most numerous German tank at the start of World War II, and thus formed the backbone of the Panzer divisions made legendary in the Blitzkrieg campaigns across Western Europe. Lightly armed and armoured, and already technologically outclassed by heavier vehicles, it nonetheless gave good service, particularly against enemy infantry. Panzer IIs saw extensive service in Europe and North Africa in the early part of the war, and would also play a significant role in Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union. Replaced in frontline service by the larger and more modern Panzer III and IV, some Panzer IIs remained in service with training units and second-line formations until the end of the war.

On the tabletop, the Panzer II is a powerful addition to early-war German Armoured Platoons, giving you a low-cost armoured platform mounting the incredibly useful light autocannon. Capable of gunning down enemy infantry with ease and threatening lighter armoured vehicles, it can punch far above its weight in games of Bolt Action.
