Trash Tigers - Kampfgruppe Hummel

For my latest Flames of War army I decided to expand my german collection with vehicles that were still missing but is to iconic to not include. Tigers.

While searcing for a list I came across Kampfgruppe Hummel. A unit that was formed out of reserve, training and mainly old Tiger tanks. They recieved 14 Tigers in total.

They are cheap compared to the usual Tigers but almost all stats are decreased and a cross of 4+ and 8″ tactical isnt great. But I can field 10 Tigers and still got 20p left for some other stuff in a 100p list.

I used two of the late tiger boxes from bf to get all 10 but all having zimmerit coating ist that accurat. To show the mishmash I used both the different copulas and modeled lots of wear into the skirts.

I used a armoured brigade panzergrenadier company as a Support consisting of a platoon of grenadiers in SdKfz 251 transports, some anti air SdKfz and a unit of mortars. The afv are still wip.

I already managed to get a game done vs us paratroopers. It was a fun game but the lower skill, short tactical movement and 4+ cross is challenging, especially if minefields are present. The tanks that made it through terrain and mines got overwelmed my the paratroopers…

I hope that I can play a second game soon.
