Cruel Seas: Linse explosive motorboat

Description

Devised in the last years of the war, the Linse boats were one of the Kriegsmarine’s last gasps – designed for special operations against Allied shipping in harbour. These 6ft plywood boats operated in squadrons of three, two suicide boats and a command boat. The two suicide boats would be piloted up until the final approach, where the pilot would bail out and the command boat would use a remote control to guide the explosive-laden boat to its target.

Operated by the Kriegsmarine K-Verband from September 1944 onwards, these boats saw limited use, but are the perfect addition to any Kriegsmarine Fleet in Cruel Seas.
