We played the first scenario in the Seelowe manual. We agreed to let me use the Jagdluther for 50 points. We agreed in the following stats for it:

Move= 1

Armor= 5

Health= 6

I kept it on the far side of the deployment zone, along with a Ludwig and a Heinrich, for support. As the enemy deployed, the Jagluther was immune to the fire from Mickeys, and killed 3 of them, one after the other, before it was killed by Rosie and a sniper squad.

Overall I feel that the Jagdluther with these stats performed well. If the enemy had fielded a Pounder or a Hot Dog, I believe he would have killed it faster.

As the Enemy....

A Pounder may have dented it, and then be slaughtered.

And a Hot Dog never would have even made it into range.

You had superior open field placement with unlimited range.

Sacrificing my first Mickey to create hard cover (our house rule) for Rosie was my only chance.

But the whole battle was kind of one sided with the placement options.

Only thing I should have done better was focused on anti-infantry and flamers to command the building better.

I lost focus of the objective, and lost the battle.

All that said, the Jag did well. I think it would have to be in a kill all mission to see its true performance.

Maybe a mission with 200 points aside. A small force escorting a new proto mech (the Jag) and the Allies need to destroy it and the escorts so all evidence of it.

It was very dicey, all things considered. The building from the start was broken, so we had to swap the tiles around to make it work.

Yeah, the problem is well known. We play it the same way.

Yup, rotating the tile 180' works.
