I really like the look of the Tiger (P) but the only list I've found that lets me use one in late war is the Elephants PDF and that only lets me take one. Are there any late war lists that will let me take more?

If I remember correctly ,after Porche(Sp) lost the contract for the Tiger I , Most of these hulls were converted to Elephant SP anti tank guns.
I do not think there are any other LW lists for using these Tiger (P).

However, if you want to use them as Standard Tigers , I cant see any one objecting.

Historically Only one Tiger P was ever used in battle in the entire second world war. This was at the Kursk tank battle in 1943 and was used as a command tank for the elephant Battlaion/regiment (can't remember which one)

So good look finding a list for any other battle that'll let you take a Tiger P, except for if you're allowing prototypes and experimental vehicles.

Having said that i'm sure as Lanrak said, all but the most stubborn rivet counter would let you use them as Tigers.

Oh man, the first monster I see I'm going to sneak up behind him, whip out my wand, and shoot my magic all over his ass.

So it shouldn't be too bad to just swap em out for normal tigers?

I think it would be you opponents preference, I wouldn't have a problem with it myself, but other gamers may have a problem as it's not 'historical'

That said apart from the Tiger P being very unreliable, I don't think that was that much difference performance wise.

I love that part! Im actually painting my US and German tanks in GuP colors.

Would anyone by any chance know of the easiest/cheapest way to make a hummel battery?
