The Grille, aka the Cricket, was a German self-propelled gun that was equipped with the infamous sIG 33 infantry gun. [[File:Grille 15cm.png|thumb|"We're going to, (what do those blasted Australians say?) Throw some shrimps on ze barbie?"]] ==Late War== [[File:Grille 15cm Statcard.jpg|thumb|left|Die Stats]] ==IRL== [[File:Grille SPG.jpg|thumb|Not a gamer.]] Before one can discuss the Grille, one first has to discuss the history of the sIG 33 Infantry gun. Now, as any good military historian knows, there are plenty of common classifications for weapons, such as Mortar, gun, Howitzer, etc. But now, you are probably wondering "What the hell is an Infantry gun?" The short version of that particular question is that an Infantry gun is called in when you need something to cause an existence failure that a mortar cannot provide, but would be a waste of valuable artillery fire for Howitzers like on Priests, Hummels, or whatever towed artillery you might have. Now, the sIG 33 was functionally a howitzer but was classified as an Infantry Gun, because apparently, the master race needed absurdly powerful Howitzers near the front. No seriously, some historians outright question why this weapon was even classified as an infantry support gun, as it functionally was more of a field Howitzer due to its weight and range. The problem was that the sIG 33 was fucking heavy. The shells alone could weigh up to 84 pounds. While the designers cleverly made a similar version out of lighter alloys, Goring ate them all up for his Luftwaffe, ruining that idea. That finally brings us to the war, where someone looked at the Marder and Wespe and thought "Hey, maybe they're onto something." The designers thus took a Panzer38(T) chassis and shoved the sIG 33 on top. As of the writing of this article, there is no significant information based on the deployment and use of this vehicle. Therefore, it is encouraged you use them in your games to make history! {{Template:German Forces in Flames of War}}
