Forged In Battle have two different versions in 15mm…. |

That is delightfully silly! Wish they had devoted the resources. Something useful would have been underfunded. |

$184.00 USD….would be a pretty good joke to put against some of my friends…. |

I wonder how many points it would be worth? |

Hmmmm, the fate of the Yamato comes to mind. Now, running loose in the desert in 1942 would have been interesting, if they could assemble it on site. :o) |

It does 70 Mph (that meters per hour) |

I've been tempted to get one in 6mm … but only for games in which there is no allied air involved.  Doug |

That would be so cool in 1/56 scale. |

Didn't it work out that because of the weight of the silly thing you could only drive it on a steel reinforced concrete pad because it would sink too deep into the ground on anything else… |

I've seen the 15mm in the flesh (resin) and it's brilliantly ridiculous. Only thing it needed was an airstrip on the deck for a couple of dedicated fighters ( might need a catapult). |

Now, running loose in the desert in 1942 would have been interesting, if they could assemble it on site. Nah, ship it by rail to Kursk or Sevastopol. |

Looks like something from 40K, awesome. |

"Hitlers idiotic heavy tank design." It certainly would be an idiotic heavy tank design, that's why it was not designed as a heavy tank. It was designed as mobile coast artillery. Rather than put two giant cannons in a turret inside a concrete pillbox that can't move, they put the same turret on a moveable platform. The concept was that you could move along a pre-determined route at three or four miles per hour and overnight shift your coast defense pillbox thirty or forty miles towards the invasion beaches. It would be armored to protect against air attack and have a few AA guns as well for good measure. Not an idiotic idea, but an impractical one using WWII technology. Mobile artillery is now used by many nations for coast defense, particularly missile launchers. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

I have one of the Forged In Battle Rattes on my painting table. It'll be featured in a Gear Krieg game this Nov at Millennium Con. |

I like what Monkeydew said |

I often wonder why these kind of vehicles are produced as models when manufacturers don't have full lists of vehicles that actually existed. |
