@SBminisguy – The rules work from 6mm to 32mm…
;)
So yes the rules could also be used for the 6mm variant.
The basic stats are done but untested. So as soon as I have the model I will paint it up and play some games, then we'll see.

The mighty P1000 Ratte rumbles out of the resin manufacturer's molds and into our warehouse. Have you have ever dreamed of owning a giant, city-crushing tank? Well, now's your chance. Equipped with a spare turret from the Scharnhorst, this nippy runabout can be yours.

Yes, you are right - the Germans never built this amazingly crazy tank, but we have.

The Ratte's primary weapon would have been a dual 280mm SK C/28 gun turret. The turret was to have been a modified Kriegsmarine triple gun turret, removing one of the guns and loading mechanism. Further armament was to consist of a 128mm anti-tank gun of the type used in the Jagdtiger or Maus, two 15mm Mauser MG 151/15 autocannons, and eight 20mm Flak 38 anti-aircraft guns, probably with at least four of them as a quad mount.

What scale is this? 15mm.

How much is it? We need to weigh it, so I'm going to come back to that one soon....
