Having encountered a large number of enemy armored vehicles, the German military improved the StuG III, mounting the 7.5 cm StuK 40 L/43 gun, a new ammo rack, and a fan. After successful trials in April 1942, mass production began. The first 120 vehicles had the StuK 40 L/43, and the following 240—the StuK 40 L/48. The frontal armor thickness was soon increased from 50 mm to 80 mm. Altogether, around 360 SPGs of this modification were produced. The team known as "Kabasan" faced St. Gloriana Girls' College in a friendly match, sporting decorations that embodied their passion for military history. Using tactics that blended seamlessly into the townscape, they achieved notable results. Since then, in every match, Team-Kabasan has employed gray-based camouflage, honing their skills in concealment and ambush.
