Editing Tiger 1 (section)

==Late War==
True Late War Tiger I tanks are distinguished by their ''Zimmerit'' anti-magnetic coating, giving the tank a rougher surface appearance. A different, lower-profile cupola was also used. By the Late War period the Axis was losing badly, so Tiger I tanks will be facing vastly more numerous forces that have tank designs getting better by the day and Allied air power racing all over the countryside. The Tiger I remains slow, expensive, and difficult to maneuver, meaning its chances of getting disabled by one problem or another are excellent, but that 88mm cannon can knock out anything the Allies can send.

Mid War-type Tiger I tanks still existed by 1944-1945, obviously, so a model of one of those can be fielded just the same. There is no real substantial difference between them, with both having the same major upsides and downsides. You see, there are two sides to every ''Panzer''...

Tiger I's are available in Late War as part of the Heer (Army) or the Waffen-SS. One of the most famous Late War examples of this mighty beast is the one commanded by Michael Wittmann of the 101st SS Heavy Panzer Battalion, one of only a few German armor units lucky enough to get the Tiger in significant quantity. Wittmann is one of the Tiger I's most famed commanders, best known for his Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords and his destruction of a British mechanized/armored column at Villers-Bocage in summer 1944. Battlefront Miniatures made a special-issue Tiger I/Schwimmwagen set (GBX16) to allow FoW players to field Wittmann's Tiger, but any Late War-type Tiger I will do for players looking to put Wittmann into the battle.
