Bolt Action Antitank Infantry

Kind of a bookend to my previous post. I felt obligated to do a headcount of weapons which have the potential to take out tanks.
Per the rules, Bazookas have +5 Pen, and Panzerfaust and Panzerschrek have +6 Pen. They all have  the Shaped Charge special rule which ignores the long range penalty. Panzerfaust can only be used once per game. Tigers have 10+ Damage; Panthers, Panzer IV's and Shermans all have 9+ Damage.

I'm hoping to get a Tank War game in before the year is over. Until then, best to you all during the holiday season.

      Thanks, Iain. I think the Germans will have an advantage with the higher Pens; even with the two Panzerfaust being one-shot. Kind regards, Dean

      Thank you very much, Phil! These are Victory Force Miniatures which were painted some years ago, but haven't had the chance to see action yet. Hopefully this will be remedied in the near future. Warmest regards, Dean

    Good looking figs. Taking an armored vehicle out in a game with one of these is always a "blast" :)

      Thanks, Ed! You just reminded me to stop by Hobby Lobby at lunch to pick up a diecast 1/48th scale P-51 - hopefully they still have one. Kindest regards, Dean

      Thanks, Javier. I painted these some years ago; and IIRC, I used an online tutorial from the Flames of War website. Actually for 15mm, but worked well enough for 28mm. Best wishes and Season's Greetings! Dean
