SS196A – Two Running Gebirgsjäger (Rock-Style Plain Base) | Thomas Gunn
Speed and teamwork are at the heart of SS196A, a two-man Gebirgsjäger set showing German mountain troops running forward towards a new position.
One soldier carries the formidable MG42, while his companion carries the additional ammunition needed to keep the weapon supplied. Thomas Gunn specifically designed the pair as men moving together, giving the set a strong sense of purpose and momentum.
The German Gebirgsjäger were specialist mountain infantry trained to operate in terrain that presented considerable challenges to conventional formations. Mountain warfare placed particular demands on soldiers, equipment and logistics, with weapons and ammunition often having to be carried over difficult ground.
The MG42 gave German infantry tremendous firepower, but that firepower depended upon ammunition. Showing the gunner and ammunition carrier together therefore makes for a particularly convincing miniature team.
This A version features rock-style plain bases, making the pair ideal for mountainous terrain, rocky hillsides or other non-winter settings.
Available through The Military Workshop – an action-filled Thomas Gunn two-figure Gebirgsjäger set combining movement, teamwork and the firepower of the MG42.
Brand: Thomas Gunn
