Naturally, having three Tigers it is very tempting to think about playing them in a game. These three tanks are nearly 1200 points of a 1500 point Flames of War mid-war army. That leaves very little points for suppot and I am still not sure what I should take. I have never played Tigers in FoW and I have also never played against them. The look to be a tough nut to crack and seem like they would be fun to play. I am not so sure they are as much fun to play against, especially in mid-war. There are very few allied units that can deal with these tanks.
First we have the Company Commander. This single tank is 395 points, ouch!
Next is the first Tiger platoon. Again we have a very expensive single tank - 385 points.
Finally we have the second platoon. Another 385 points.
There you have it 1165 points for three tanks. I just wonder how long three tanks will last in a game...

They will be a tough nut to crack in mid-war, but will also be challenging to play for you due to the small force you will have. Should be a nice change of pace for you.
Very nice. Following your work for FoW is getting me excited to start working on my FoW stuff.
Great stuff. I am working towards adding Tigers to my German force, but trying to work steadily through all the little options first before I add one (or more of these) as divisional support.
I quite like the idea of using one in a way demonstrated in the Doco; Battlefield - Battle for Normandy. Just one in the Bocage blocks a whole armoured columns advance down narrow lanes :-)
Tigers are my favorite tank in FoW which is why I have 14 of them. I'm thinking of painting some more of them. My Tiger tanks are all from specific historically correct units so...
