Description
The standard issue German anti-tank gun in 1939, it equipped the Panzerjager battalions, Pak is short for Panzerwehrkanone – anti-tank gun, and 36 indicates the year the weapon was designed). It was arguably the best anti-tank gun in the world at the onset of war, but was quickly outclassed by heavier armour on enemy tanks. Still 15,000 were produced for Germany and its allies and it was still in service in 1945.
The Pak 36 is the anti-tank gun the Germans always defaulted to because of it’s reliability and prowess. It was also relatively easy to handle and quite mobile, only needing two men to bring it into action.

Simple to put together, probably the easiest warlord gun I have had to put together, nicely detailed.
Crew poses are also fairly generic so could be used to crew other guns. Obviously a staple of every German early war force so should be a natural choice for blitzkrieg gamers.
