includes three 30cm NW42 Rocket Launchers with crew, one Command SMG team, one Observer Rifle team one Small three-hole base, one Small two-hole base & three Large bases.

Five Volks-Werfer Brigaden (People’s Rocket Launcher Brigades) supported the German forces during the Ardennes offensive. Each brigade consisted of two regiments with six batteries of 15cm NW41 rocket launchers and three heavy batteries of either 21cm NW42 or 30cm NW42 rocket launchers, depending on if it was the first or second battalion.
The biggest advantage of Nebelwerfer rocket launchers is their ability to saturate a wide area quickly with high-explosive rounds. They are ideal for pinning down an enemy position while attacking forces approach for the assault.

Observer teams need a good view of the battlefield in order to do their job correctly. Be sure to deploy them in a position where they have an excellent view of the battlefield such as on a hilltop or on the top floor of a multi-level building.

Super-heavy Rockets
The massive 30cm rockets used by the NW42 rocket launchers are slow to load and therefore the full battery is not always available to fire on command. A Volks Rocket Launcher Battery equipped with 30cm NW42 rocket launchers uses the Super-heavy Rockets special rule.
At the start of the game, place a Full Salvo marker with a platoon equipped with 30cm NW42 Super-heavy Rockets. Remove this marker after firing an Artillery Bombardment.
If a platoon with Super-heavy Rockets does not have a Full Salvo marker when it fires an Artillery Bombardment, roll a Skill Test for each Rocket Launcher able to fire in the Bombardment. Only those that pass the Skill Test can fire as part of the Bombardment.
Place a Full Salvo marker on a platoon with Super-heavy Rockets at the end of any Shooting Step in which every Rocket Launcher in the platoon was able to fire an Artillery Bombardment, but none did so.
