The Panzerabwehrkanone 36, aka the Pak 36, was the main anti-tank gun of the german Wehrmacht at the start of WWI, and was the counterpart of the French 25 mm Hotchkiss and the British 2-pdr QF anti-tank artillery. I picked up this Rubicon Models version from Imperial Hobbies.
The model comes with 5 crew. Hooray! Most AT guns from other companies only come with 3! And 5 is what Wikipedia lists as the correct number of crew (and yes, I know what is said about relying on Wikipedia, but this is just a hobby, so Wikipedia is good enough for me). Of course, Chain of Command calls for Junior Leader PLUS 5 crew, so I made up an extra crewman from the Perry Miniatures DAK box.
The Perry DAK figure fits in nicely with the Rubicon figures. The kit also includes several ammunition boxes, which I based thinking they may make good markers, maybe for a scenario with limited ammo.
All in all, hope this will be a helpful counterpart to allied armour.
