FOV Stug III--Anzio?

Post by dragon53 » Sun Mar 04, 2018 9:08 am

Can anyone give me info about this FOV Stug III #81006 Anzio which is supposed to be with the "341st Assault Brigade"?
I'm having trouble confirming that there was a 341st at Anzio.

The references I have for Anzio do not mention any 341st.

[CAT]cplslade:

I couldn't find a 341st at Anzio, either.
I'd look to see what that enclosed FOV info card says about the 341st.

The card says nothing about the 341st or any unit for that matter. It is a super condensed history of the Stug and the Ausf G in particular.

That is exactly what is says on the card, as the cards came later during the production run. Unimax made a half-assed attempt to enter the collectible card game market with a tank combat game but putting one card in a $45-$60 item was not the right way.

Thanks for the info.
All the listings I've seen for the FOV Stug mention Anzio, 341st. Italy, etc.

Example from the Motorpool:

"Ausf. G Assault Gun with Side Skirts - Sturmgeschutz Abteilung 341, Italy, 1944"
