First of all, are all the figures glued fit yet? Otherwise you could have one or tow guys from the supply-team and the rest Stug-crew.

As for vehicles: maybe the Munitionsschlepper auf Pz Ia or Pz Ib?

Other options, place ths Stug more central and no 2nd vehicle. You can fill it up with figures perhaps.

move the tank a bit more in the middle and have some german fuel drums on the ground near the side and some ammo crates towards the back and side and put in some more figures to have it being refueled and rearmed from stuff that was unloaded off a truck into a pile on the ground.. :-)

You got even more choices, you can have a Opel Blitz, or a Opel Maultier to, beside the Benz, so that gives you 3 to choose from.

Even the older type Krupp Protze truck ... not the one pulling the Pak.
Its quite small and could carry a load, and used everywhere.
Should be cheap enough also .. check out e-bay or the likes!

this first one is kind of off topic, but the guy carrying the shell on his shoulder? why is he all the way over there? shouldnt he be carrying shells from the ammo crate to the tank?

anyways, sorry for the off topic, but I like the idea of an opel maultier, I personally, havn't seen many of those in dios.

if you're concerned about room, take your Stug, and (im looking at the birds eye view as if the front of the tank was the top of the pic) and move it diagonally to the left or right.
