=== Late War ===

By Late War, the PaK-40 appears in every German intelligence briefing, in one form or another. Being Germans, the PaK-40 is an expensive piece of kit, but at AP 12 it is a dangerous weapon to most enemy units. However, one must be wary of the late-late war books (such as Bridge at Remagen or Berlin), as by the time the war comes to an end your opponents will be able to field M26 Pershings, IS-2s and other such tanks with increased frontal armour. Firepower 3+ and RoF 2 are pretty bog-standard for AT Guns, but the addition of a Gun Shield makes it a little better at surviving. Of course, being a man-packed gun it moves pathetically slowly, and a concerted assault by infantry will make short work of your anti-tank platoon.

The best way to use the PaK-40 is, where possible, to deploy it as an ambush. Lie in wait for Allied tanks/vehicles to come along, let them get in range, then nail the coffin shut.
