Catch a Tiger by the Tail

My newest acquisition for my German WWII force is the Solido 221 Tiger tank.


Collectors may choke a bit when they realize I'm going to play games with it.

It's a thing of beauty!

Another perspective.


I admit that my 1/43 - 1/50 armor acquisitions for the Germans are a bit of a hodge podge: a PZ IV, a Jagdpanther and a Tiger. Then again, the rules I use don't put a premium on real-world orbats either.

I think, at this point, my plan is to acquire another PZ IV, so I can field a tank company of PZ IVs, lead by a Tiger. Not sure how historical it is, but Featherstone had two Panthers lead by a tiger in his sample campaign game in Advanced War Gaming and that's good enough for me.
