Title : Kompanie Zunker 28 12 44

1500 pts. Company command(Zunker), 2 infantry platoons(Lorenzen & Kahn) each of command + 3 squads, 1 HMG platoon(Midunski) of two sections + command. From Divisional support I drew an AT platoon(Steinmeyer) of 2 x two gun sections of PAK40 with RSO tows and a heavy tank platoon(Krieger) of 2 Tiger 1Es. The force lacks any artillery or close support weapons apart for the HMGs. It is small,potentially very brittle and vulnerable to HE fire.Choosing to be very cautious with the infantry elements proved the right thing to do. The Tigers acted as a storm break absorbing all the enemy attention.Interesting psychology attached to the presence of these tanks which I think disproportionately preoccupies your opponent forcing them into many flakey decisions.
