Team Yankee: Bandkanon 1 Howitzer Battery (x3)
The Swedish Army’s Bandkanon 1 was one of the most formidable self-propelled artillery systems of the Cold War, and it brings that same overwhelming firepower to World War III: Team Yankee. Mounted on a heavy tracked chassis, the Bandkanon 1 was designed to deliver intense, rapid bombardments, giving Swedish NATO forces the ability to strike hard from long range against any advancing enemy.
This battery includes three Bandkanon 1 self-propelled howitzers in 15mm scale, making it a powerful support choice for Swedish formations in Team Yankee. On the tabletop, these guns provide devastating artillery support, allowing commanders to soften enemy positions and control key areas of the battlefield before main forces engage.
Historically, the Bandkanon 1 entered service in the late 1960s and featured a 155mm gun with an automatic loading system capable of firing an entire magazine of shells in mere seconds. This exceptional rate of fire made it a cornerstone of Sweden’s Cold War defense doctrine and one of the most iconic artillery vehicles of its era.
Miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted, offering hobbyists the opportunity to customize and finish their battery to match their Swedish forces.
