Flames of War: Tiger Heavy Tank Platoon - German heavy tanks. BATTLE FRONT GBX140

Product contents Tiger Heavy Tank Platoon

The Tiger Heavy Tank Platoon by Flames of War allows you to field the most feared armored vehicle of World War II on the tabletop. The reputation of the Tiger I among Allied crews was so overwhelming that almost any enemy tank that halted their advance was mistaken for one of these formidable steel felines.

Its formidable thick frontal armor, capable of bouncing the vast majority of anti-tank shells of the era, combined with the devastating power of its 8.8cm KwK 36 gun, turns the Tiger into a virtually impenetrable combat force at long ranges.

How to use the Tiger Heavy Tank Platoon in Flames of War

On the battlefield, Tiger heavy tanks act as an unshakeable defensive anchor or as the ultimate spearhead to break through the most heavily fortified positions. A single platoon of Tigers can absorb punishment from entire formations of Sherman or T-34 tanks while taking down key targets piece by piece.

This set includes full documentation in the form of unit cards to build both Company HQ and combat platoons for Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS divisions in the D-Day setting.
