I question the ability of the AA halftrack to depress it's quad 50 far enough to engage the troops right next to it, and all around it. You didn't say if there was a turn limit on tat game, but in ay case, I would have done my best to clear away the Americans, especially the tanks, before trying to make it to the German lines. Enjoyed watching it anyways, nice models and terrain.

Glad you enjoyed the Battle Report, this custom scenario was played until one of the victory conditions was met; in this case the Germans immobilising the Maus. In reality, the M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage would probably have been overwhelmed by the Fallschirmjäger, but Bolt Action is not a historical re-enactment, more of a cinematic wargame.

In boltaction you can play the MAUS ?!

[@RetroAtticMancave]

The Panzer VIII Maus can be taken as a tank choice in the 1945 Last Levy force selector in the Armies of Germany book. Cost: 570 pts Regular; 684 pts Veteran Weapons: 1 Turret Mounted super-heavy anti-tank gun with co-axial light howitzer and co-axial MMG Damage Value: 11+ (Super-heavy tank) Special Rules: • Slow • Tiger Fear • Unreliable: If the Maus suffers one or more pin markers as a result of an enemy attack it automatically suffers one additional pin marker. • 128mm KwK 44: This gun was almost as effective at long ranges as at short range, so does not suffer the -1 penetration penalty when shooting at targets over half range. It counts a full +7 penetration bonus at all ranges. • ‘Mobile Fortress’. To fulfil its role as a breakthrough tank the Maus had extremely heavy armour. There is no penetration modifier for hitting a Maus from the side and the penetration modifier for hitting a Maus in its rear arc is reduced to +1. • Co Axial Main Gun: Although the Co-axially mounted 75mm KWK44 L36 would in any other tank be a respectable anti-tank gun, it was fitted on the Maus to provide dedicated HE fire. For the purposes of these rules it is classed as a Light Howitzer. Note: When firing the turret mounted weapons you may fire only one. You have the choice of the super heavy anti-tank gun, the light howitzer or the MMG.
