Germany
  Vorratswagen 96 n/A

If Tanks are perhaps the most well-known and talked about weapons of WW1 Land Warfare, then the other side of the spectrum must surely be the Horse Drawn Supply and Baggage Wagons that was the Logistical Backbone of all Armies. Motor Transport was still something of a rarity, and both at the start and at the end of the War the majority of all supply was transported on Horse drawn Wagons.

One of these was the German Mittler Feldwagen. It could take three men - including one on the horses - and were used to transport well near anything that the Army needed: food, fodder, ammunition, tools, packs, wounded men etc. It could be pulled by two or four horses, depending on the circumstances. It was successfull in it's own right, and was used even in WW2, when the German Army still very much relied on Horses.

My model is made from the fine kit of the mittler Feldwagen made by Fine Scale Factory, but converted to resemble the variant called Vorratswagen 96 n/A. The driver comes from FSF as well, but I'm not really satisfied with that fellow, as his pose is a bit too stiff: he looks really wooden and uncomfortable.
