...and all through the night,
...not a creature was stirring,
...not even a Maus!"

We're been thinking about adding a 1946 / Weird War range at some point, so this might fit in nicely!  

Looks awesome!

 

Does this mean you might do a a Ratte too? 

Hmmm, that's one big beastie!

Hope you don't charge by the kilogram for that thing. 

Wow 

Cheers,

We're thinking it's going to be a resin hull at the moment, metal turret.

To whom it may concern:

If that thing appears on any table of mine I'm calling in the Lancasters with Grand Slams! 

or just retreat 6 inches and wait for it to run out of fuel ?

You'd need to work out some kind of shrapnel house rule as well, for when it's gearbox explodes.

Too big and heavy to cross German bridges, but apparently could wade across rivers .

But of course just sank in wet ground and then abandoned

Issue 12 of the SOTCW Journal (available as part of Compendium 2) includes a scenario using 1-3 Maus. I played it once, some years ago, and it was good fun.

Oho - I'll have six please 

Did this ever get into a mould in the end? Just wondering as it might make a nice objective for a 1945 scenario...

Shoot me an email and I'll have a check.  It went into a mould but it was a bit of a nuisance to cast and we just shelved it until we got some more 1945+ things made.  I might have one or two sitting in a drawer somewhere though.

Will do !

I have a Pendraken Maus and another 1/144th scale one by Dragon or Takom (I think).

They have taken part in my "Last Stand at Kummersdorf" scenario on several occasions. The different models make it easy for participants to tell which Maus is designated as having the mild steel turret!

For around £45 Jadlam Racing Models will do you a Landkreuzer P1000 Ratte and the two Maus variant as kits. Good luck persuading your opponent to let you field them!

Well it will be solo, so no problem on that front ! Coming up with some stats might be an issue, but I'll worry about that if and when I get a Maus to play with...
