We can finally present you the spotlight on the re-mastered 10.5cm leFH18 Howitzer, the standard field artillery gun of the Germans through out the war.

The new model represents the early model as used through 1939-1943.

The German army’s need for a new 10.5cm artillery piece led to the development of the leFH18 by the Rheinmetall. The first prototypes were ready in 1935.

Though a reasonably modern design is was still very heavy and all but impossible for the crew to move quickly, and even then not without the aid of a tractor or limber team.

It could be towed by horse limber teams or half-tracked tractors such as the Sd Kfz 11 or RSO.

The projectile was separated from the load. The crew could select from six different loads according to the range they wanted.

During the early campaigns in Russia the gun was pressed into action as an anti-tank weapon on occasion to deal with the appearance of the T-34, KV-1 and KV-2.


In Flames Of War

The 10.5cm leFH18 howitzer can be used to support any German company, usually in their standard batteries of four guns.

It has good range (24”/60cm direct, 72”/180cm firing bombardments) and excellent anti-tank and firepower (AT10 direct, AT3 bombardments; FP 2+ direct, 4+ bombardments).
