Not the mammals, rather the German tanks that caused such panic in World War II. In any scale and any make.

A) All my German tanks are Tigers.
B) More than any other tank in my German Panzer Divisions.
C) Equal numbers of Tigers vs. all my other Panzers.
D) Many more Panzer Mark 1,2,3,4 and Panthers vs. Tigers.
E) I have very few Tigers.
F) I own no Tigers because they run out of gas and break down before the battle.
G) I only game Early WW II, so I don't have any.
H) I don't have any German forces for WWII.
I) I don't play WWII games.
J) What is a Tiger tank?
K) I don't like this poll.

Grignotage24 Mar 2017 9:05 a.m. PST

D.

I think I have 5 or 6 total, one in 15mm, the rest 6mm.

Weasel24 Mar 2017 9:07 a.m. PST

Just one in 15mm.

SBminisguy24 Mar 2017 9:12 a.m. PST

One Tiger Zug in 1/50 scale -- more than enough!

boy wundyr x24 Mar 2017 9:20 a.m. PST

D) but I still have about 20 Tigers in 6mm, of assorted varieties.

WarWizard24 Mar 2017 9:24 a.m. PST

B

Hey, I got them on sale.

Winston Smith24 Mar 2017 9:25 a.m. PST

I only play the Good Guys, so I have none.

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP24 Mar 2017 9:27 a.m. PST

L) No Tigers. The WWII games I play don't use armour.

I have a couple dozen of the mammal kind. And a several dozen anthomorphic of the mammal kind.

RetroBoom24 Mar 2017 9:27 a.m. PST

6 in 15mm, 5 in 6mm.

daler240D24 Mar 2017 9:30 a.m. PST

2 in 10mm

Texas Jack24 Mar 2017 9:30 a.m. PST

E because of G

I just had a look and there are two Tigers sitting in a plastic box. They glowered at me, I think for lack of use. I donīt think I will venture to open the box again.

advocate24 Mar 2017 9:32 a.m. PST

One

ZULUPAUL Supporting Member of TMP24 Mar 2017 9:32 a.m. PST

None either tanks or felines…

goragrad24 Mar 2017 9:41 a.m. PST

Dozens.

But then I have scores of the other marks.

And 1942 is still fairly early war.

vtsaogames24 Mar 2017 9:41 a.m. PST

One.

Chuckaroobob24 Mar 2017 9:43 a.m. PST

E:
Since only painted battle ready ones count, 3 in 15mm.

Although I never play Germans, my friends sometimes borrow them.

Murvihill24 Mar 2017 9:43 a.m. PST

in 1/72nd
3 Tiger 1's, 2 Tiger 2's, 2 jagtigers (one a gift), 1 sturmtiger.
That's out of 150-odd German AFV's.

durecell24 Mar 2017 9:46 a.m. PST

E?F? I have a German army after Tigers were introduced so I could have them but I don't own any Tigers because I didn't see the need for them.

Moonbeast24 Mar 2017 9:48 a.m. PST

E. Now assault guns and tank destroyers are a different matter entirely…

pzivh43 Supporting Member of TMP24 Mar 2017 9:48 a.m. PST

deephorse24 Mar 2017 9:53 a.m. PST

A lot. Because as well as having my gaming Tigers I also collected Dragon's pre-painted Tigers, and there was more than just a few of them.

Patrick Sexton Supporting Member of TMP24 Mar 2017 10:09 a.m. PST

None.

15mm and 28mm Fanatik24 Mar 2017 10:09 a.m. PST

Only 3 Tiger I's, but I also have 2 King Tigers (one Porsche turret and the other Henschel) and a Jagdtiger.

I would say C) since my 4 Panthers (plus a Jagdpanther), 6 Panzer IV's (plus 2 Jagdpanzer IV's) and 5 Stug III Ausf G's approximate that number.

These are all in 1/48.

Who asked this joker24 Mar 2017 10:13 a.m. PST

Infinite number of Tiger Is. Mine are card models so I can print as many as I like. I have 1 built.

Tom Reed24 Mar 2017 10:20 a.m. PST

D, I have 2 in 15mm. Not sure if I will ever use them. Painted for the DAK.

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP24 Mar 2017 10:25 a.m. PST

Just one, HMS Tiger of WW I fame.

Fat Wally24 Mar 2017 10:29 a.m. PST

E) I actually have just two Tigers

Wolfhag24 Mar 2017 10:31 a.m. PST

I have more than what the Germans had on the Western Front, so not very many. There are also in the same condition as most Tiger I's were, immobile.

Wolfhag

BattlerBritain24 Mar 2017 10:32 a.m. PST

D) In 6mm 15 Tiger 1's, 5 Tiger II's, 5 JagdTigers

You get 5 in a pack for GHQ.

BCantwell24 Mar 2017 10:54 a.m. PST

D) I have ~ 5 in 15mm, but a scad of all other Panzers.

walkabout24 Mar 2017 11:02 a.m. PST

1 Solido Tiger from the 1960's.

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut24 Mar 2017 11:15 a.m. PST

H. Never had a Tiger when I did 1/35 German armor, either. I had a King Tiger though.

Should I start a WW2 German force, I think the biggest vehicle I would have isca StuG III. So far, Bolt Action is my WW2 gane, so a Tiger would be overkill.

21eRegt24 Mar 2017 11:15 a.m. PST

Four Tiger I, no Tiger II, three Jagdtigers. Dozens of Mk. IIs, IIIs, IVs and Panthers.

Rich Bliss24 Mar 2017 11:25 a.m. PST

Zero.

zoneofcontrol24 Mar 2017 11:50 a.m. PST

I have two in 15mm. 1 with Zimmerit and 1 without.

torokchar Supporting Member of TMP24 Mar 2017 11:52 a.m. PST

F: but I do have a bunch of Tiger killers!

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP24 Mar 2017 11:55 a.m. PST

Six I's and a King in 5mm. Never set out to buy one, but I built my WWII armies by buying up discards in flea markets.

Which means I've had to go back to dealers for recon, transport and towed AT. Miniature wargamers are a simple people with basic, primitive wants.

Oh. "E" I think. I have more of every other mark.

redmist112224 Mar 2017 12:01 p.m. PST

"E" I have 2+1 1:48 scale models for gaming; 2 for the game table (1 is German Tiger mod for Kelly's Heroes and the second is in winter camo). The third is unbuilt and still in the box.

P.

JimDuncanUK24 Mar 2017 12:06 p.m. PST

None as far as I remember.

I do have a few Panthers and quite a few PZ IVs.

Jamesonsafari24 Mar 2017 12:07 p.m. PST

D. Three Tiger 1s and three Tiger 2s.
Three panthers
Three pz IVh
Five pz IVg
Three pz IV short 75
Three pz III with long 50mm
Three pz III with short barrel
Five pz38t
Six pzII
Six pzl

Plus a bunch of StuGs and SiGs and tank destroyers.

Need some panzer jaeger IVs and hetzers

G (North African Desert, 1941-1942)

Also J and K grin

Jim

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP24 Mar 2017 12:11 p.m. PST

A couple and all in 6mm

I have lots and lots of StuGs, Panzer IIIs and Panzer IVs

Personal logo miniMo Supporting Member of TMP24 Mar 2017 12:41 p.m. PST

D.

Which still is a goodly number of Tigers since I have a great deal of StuG's, Panzer IV's, and Panthers.

As is proper for NWE, as Tigers really did exist in decent quantities.

steamingdave4724 Mar 2017 12:56 p.m. PST

D- about 20 out of around 100 10mm German tanks.

GROSSMAN24 Mar 2017 1:11 p.m. PST

Not enough…

Greg G124 Mar 2017 1:14 p.m. PST

8 x Tiger I's, 6 x Tiger II's (4 Henschel, 2 Porsche),1 x JagdTiger all in 6mm.
My PzKfw III's and PzKfw IV's number around at least 50 of each, and about 20 PzKfw II and 22 Panthers and only 8 PzKfw I including command versions. About 27 STuG III and IV's back them up, again all in 6mm.
So I would say I have option D
I forgot about the 17 38T and 35T's

Andy ONeill24 Mar 2017 1:34 p.m. PST

I have three revel 1:72 tigers a friend made for me.
Lee did a great job on assembling and painting those. He even added milliput zimmerit.

Not sure how many micro tigers I have, or even if I still have them. I last used them about 1981.

There's at least two still in boxes unassembled. I bought someone's unwanted collection of second hand dragon kits.

Ummmm…
I gave away my 1/35th Tiger to a non wargaming friend.

That would be D.
A small part of my collection.
I've got way more pz38t, pz 2, 3,4 and panthers.

4th Cuirassier24 Mar 2017 1:35 p.m. PST

Disappointed nobody has claimed to own an actual one

GildasFacit Sponsoring Member of TMP24 Mar 2017 1:37 p.m. PST

G for me.

All my WW2 armour is 3mm so lots of anything that was around in France 1940.

One day I will paint the infantry so I can actually use the damn tanks.

mghFond24 Mar 2017 1:42 p.m. PST

G, I only play early war Eastern Front.
