Great Models, but how many people are going to field three of them at one time? |

I suppose if you wanted to wargame the action at Ogledow in August 1944 where the Germans lost 13 King Tigers in a few days due to Russian ambushes… then you might need a box of three. But in 28mm that's going to be a BIG table! |

Great looking vehicles & the zimmerit looks effective too. However in 28mm, I can see these used more for wargaming in the garden ? |

I thought you needed three so you could do all three colour schemes suggested… Love the garden game idea |

"Great Models, but how many people are going to field three of them at one time?" trust me, they will find a way… |

I could get one for 'Chain of Command……and then never get to use it? |

1st Company, 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion, was equipped with them when it went into action during Operation Goodwood on 18 July 44. Historically, they retired after losing a couple of tanks to fire from the flank (likely from the Guards Armoured Division) as they approached the corridor down which the British armored divisions were driving southward. At Historicon last year, I ran a hypothetical scenario with six of them that assumed that they weren't ambushed but instead got into a fight with 3rd British Infantry Division just southwest of the village of Banneville le Campagne. |

The 501st was reconstituted and name eventually changed in December 1944 to the 424th Heavy Tank Battalion. They had a mix of Tiger Is and IIs. Fought a major engagement at Lisow, Poland in January 1945 with OB at that time reported as 29 Tiger Is and 23 Tiger IIs.

Market-Garden. Brand new off the assembly lines stopped the XXX Corps dead in its tracks (pun intended) at Elst. Believe the ones at Goodwood had the Porsche turret and were unreliable even for Tigers. They lost several in Goodwood because they couldn't shoot straight their sights knocked out of alignment by the air strike. Cheers! |
looks at an anti-aircraft platoon set.
