MikeyD Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Who out there still plays with good-old SturmTiger, after having had so much fun with it the first couple days of owning the game? Anybody come up with a way to have a 'balanced' game using this beast? I did one Quickbattle recently using SturmTiger to defend a town and I let the AI select my opponent. The AI wisely chose a LOT of infantry spread out the entire width of the map. While my Sturm was laying waste to the left of the board the AI was quietly infiltrating the majority of its forces to the right. Then the Sturmovik came and imobilized me. Sometimes the AI can be a very crafty opponent! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_the_wino Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 You know I can buy A LOT of Stuarts for the price of your SturmTiger. And it only takes 3-5 Stuarts to wax a ST. Think how inf I can get with the left over points. :eek: editted to add: The venerable Joe Shaw has made a new scenario for the Peng boys and girls. Maybe if you ask real nice he will send you a copy. It most likely ain't historical or balanced but it might be nice see what others are doing with that bad-boy.

ParaBellum Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I think I used the Sturmtiger exactly two times. First time during Warphead's preview party, the second time for my "Woohooo I got it"-thread to show some cool pics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demoss Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 The scenario I've played that had a SturmTiger seemed pretty well balanced. Of course, if I told you what it was, that'd be a spoiler..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 When I play my QBs rarity is turned on 99.9% of the time. Needless to say the Sturmtiger is too expensive. Also, if you choose your forces correctly with enough extra points (or what's left) you can make the Sturmtiger a very expensive bait to lure enemy armor Cheesey, yes, but it can be effective. Nothing pisses off someone more than to see his detachment of tanks sent to despatch the ST get waxed by those camping PaK40/88mm whores! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall having the StrumTiger in the "Clash of Titans II" sceanrio by Rune that we played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 the counter to the strumtiger is 305mm artillery with lots of TRPs Tank killing aircraft Or a crazed Ivan with a RPG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_the_wino Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Dragging this up from the depths cuz I REALLY want some scenarios with a ST in them. Could I get some folks to post scenarios with STs in them? Thanks in advance.
