Jagdtiger!

by Billy Payne(Tisander)

Otto Carius was one of the greatesttank commanders of all time. Hekilled 150 tanks durring WW2. Latein the war he was assigned to aJagdtiger and ordered to deffend theRhine.

The river in this scenario is hardlythe Rhine, and this is not historic,but come and witness what ajagdtiger was capable of........

OBJECTIVE:

If a player controls all three victorylocations in any status phase, then hescores 1 victory point.

At the end of round 8, each victorylocation controlled is worth 2 victorypoints.Most victory points wins.

Control is detemined by last tooccupy durring a Command phase,use control markers.

The Americans win, then Ottosurrenders his Jagdtiger and starts abusiness after the war, wich henames after his tank.

If he Germans win, then Patton getsmad and defeats them the next day.

Command points are awarded basedon how far you have 'pushed' fromyour initial board edge. (North forGermans, South for Americans)

First row is worth 2 cp's. Second rowis worth+1 cp's(or three) etc....

You can only score cp's for thehighest value row you occupy.(onerow per command phase) no matterhow many different rows youoccupy. You also may not score arow your enemy has passed, butplayers may score for the same rowand probably will every round afterthe first.

I have placed cp markers on theboard rows to show thier value toeach player.

The German player also recieves 1cp if Otto's jagdtiger has not beenknocked out, each command phase.

Rounds: 8Starting InitativeAmericans

Actions3

ReinforcementsRound Three: Both players recieveone halftrack, 1 officer, three elitesand a specialty of his/her choice.

The americans also recieve fourM4A3(75)W Shermans

TerrainThe river is shallow.

Special RulesOtto's Jagdtiger is exactly 10 hexesoff the northern board edge. He haswisely placed it on a level 3 hill. Hecan count range from any full hex onthe north edge and begins his countwith number 11. For this scenario theJagdtiger will not move. Otto'sJagdtiger gets the tank ace card.

All the blind hexes from Otto's

possition have been marked inpurple. Its common sense so youshouldnt have to look at the map, andshould be able to tell what is blind bylooking at the board.

Otto may be targeted with air strikesand artillery. His tank losses its thickarmor bonus against these attacks.

If Otto can see you, then you canalso see him. Place any fatiguemarkers or op fire markers, on thetank ace card, to show when Otto hasfired etc. Otto starts the game on opfire.

The Jagdtiger was the most powerfulanti tank gun used in the war. Itsarmor was Inpenetrable from thefront. It could easily knock out alliedtanks before they were in range toshoot back.

Jagdtiger(heavy vehicle)================Move: 4Armor: 8vs infantry range: 12 firepower: 5

vs armor range: 15 firepower 22cuncussive firepoweroverrunThick armorMay not use move and shootorder(no turret)

Anytime a player uses a reinforcebattalion card, he may replace 4regulars for 3 elites, and anofficer.(instead of the normal mix forthis card) He may also choose to takea MG team instead of two elites.Both players may do this once pergame.

If you would rather not use Variantvehicles, then just use the normalones.If you dont want to use the Jagdtigerthen I would suggest placing a level2 hill overlay on top of the center hillspace on board 4B. Give theGermans an extra tiger and place iton this hill spot, on op fire, to startthe game. I have not tested the game
