By 1942, Panzer IV medium companies were a mix of short and long barrelled tanks. As more Soviet T-34 tanks began to show up on the battlefield, the older short barrelled Panzer IVs began to be pushed into an auxiliary role, supporting the more powerful long-barrelled tanks with valuable artillery fire and smoke screens.

Includes five plastic Panzer IV Tanks, one plastic Tank Commander Sprue, one Decal Sheet and five Unit cards.
