WARLORD GAMES:
The Panzer II Ausf. L Luchs (German for Lynx) was a heavily modified version of the Panzer II, with better armour, speed and range, making it a fantastic armoured scout vehicle.
The Ausf. L Luchs was the final development
of the Panzer II series of light tanks. Developed for light
reconnaissance duties, the Luchs was produced during late 1943 and
although an order for 800 of this new light tank was made to MAN and
Henschel, the war ended before that could be completed and only just
over a hundred were produced.
The Luchs’ four men crew consisted of
commander, gunner, driver and radio-operator, it could reach a speed
of 60 km/h and had a range of 290 km. The Luchs saw action until the end
of the war on both the Eastern and Western Front with the Panzeraufklarungs-Abteilung (armoured reconnaissance) of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS.
