History of the King Tiger II
The Königstiger (officially named the
Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B or Sd.kfz 182) more commonly known as the
‘King Tiger’ or ‘Royal Tiger’ by Allied troops, was a development of the
fearsome Tiger I tank. Its introduction to hostilities in 1944 caused
significant problems for the Allies but ultimately it saw action too
late to have a game-changing impact on the war.
Deployed on both the Western and Eastern fronts the
King Tiger’s long 8.8cm gun had enormous operational accuracy with the
ability to knock out any Allied tank frontally at ranges exceeding 2.5
kilometres (1.6 miles), way beyond the effective range of any Allied
tank gun.
Two turret designs were produced with Porsche and
Henschel competing for the contract. As the first Henschel chassis
rolled off the production line only the turret originally destined for
the rejected Porsche project were available. Fifty Porsche turrets were
mounted to Henschel’s hull and used in action until the Henschel turret
variant became available.
The first combat use of the King Tiger was during the
battles in Normandy by 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion (s.H.Pz.Abt.503),
opposing Operation Atlantic between Troarn and Démouville on 18 July
1844. On the Eastern front, its combat debut came on the 12th August
1944 by the 501st Heavy Panzer Battalion (s.H.Pz.Abt.501) resisting the
Lvov-Sandomierz Offensive, where it attacked the Soviet bridgehead over
the Vistula River near Baranów Sandomierski.
The King Tiger On the tabletop
The King Tiger is a super heavy tank, using the
armoured selector, you are allowed to use up to 5 on the battlefield per
platoon or use the reinforced selector so you can use 1 per platoon. It
certainly isn't cheap in points, but the sheer combat prowess and fear
it gives to your opponents outweighs the cost.
With its absurdly high armour rating of 11, you'll
need at the bare minimum a medium anti-tank gun to harm it whilst
shooting at the front. With armour that strong, you can stand in a
hailstorm of shells and be able to come out unscathed. Its main armament
is the super-heavy anti-tank gun, a weapon so powerful that it needs a
simple 2+ on a die roll to penetrate a medium tank - now imagine three
of those beasts approaching...
Here's the King Tiger Bolt Action profile, within an
average game of Tank War consisting of 2500 - 3000 points or more 5 is
the perfect number:
Cost: 555pts (Regular), 666pts (Veteran).
Weapons: 1 turret-mounted super-heavy anti tank gun
with co-axial MMG and 1 forward-facing hull-mounted MMG.
Damage value: 11+ (Super-heavy tank).

- The shopper is redirected to WorldPay's secure server where they are presented with a series of payment pages, enabling them to choose their payment method and enter their payment details.
- WorldPay records the shopper's payment details against the details submitted in the purchase token to produce a transaction.
