Peter Pig makes Volkssturm figures, but PP runs small (as in 15mm). Battlefront makes/made a Volkssturm platoon. With the way they go through rule sets and army lists, I don't have any idea if they are still being made. |

I'm not sure the Germans even had a concept of reservists, although they did have a wave system for raising units. They were issued identical uniforms, but the units lower down the tree tended to get older bits of kit or a higher proportion of captured weapons. I just use bog standard German infantry, albeit in plain field grey. The Home Guard were just civilians with a random assortment of helmets, hats and weapons. As noted above, PP do 15mm Volkssturm, but you could improvise with mix of infantry figures with light equipment in helmets, caps, shirt and long boots and just the clothing in different colours. |

At the moment these aren't production , as V4 has got that far yet . Looking at there FB group they are have severe production problems atm , so hard to tell how long before they get to that part of LW . |
