Turn 5 End

Soviet fire does nothing

Germans unable to harm the KV-5




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Conclusion

Germans had a minor victory as they destroyed more tanks

The tigers could not damage the KV-5s due to there massive armour of 14 on the front and 12 on the side

The 88 has an AT of 13, so the best the germans could hope for would be a double bailout

At 795 points for three of them, they are not to bad, with the exeption of the ROF 1

Nice. The last pic showing the KV-85 next to the tigers really hammers home just how massive it is!

Busy as always! I thought you would not be able to resist the train

The new german stuff is looking very promising. What force are you painting up (or is it just for the models)?

lol, bit of a beast that train and not painted polish camo before so that will be a big learning curve.

You know me there will be pure lists for Tiger II's, Jagdpanthers and Panzer IV/70's lists.

The train is looking very cool. No idea what to offer in terms of suggestions except liberal use of devlan mud to weather it
