Well you will need a burnt out one, missing its turret for Wittmann.
Schwere SS-Panzer Abt. 101 had 37 Tigers operational on the 1st June 1944 with 8 more in repair.
Its authourised strength was 45 tanks... But I dunno how that would equate to the rules.
1 tank for Bttln HQ
3 companies each;
1 tank Coy CO
3 platoons of 2 tanks each.
I would say it would be v. unlikely that the bttln operated as a whole so fielding one company should be sufficient. IIRC there was only about a companies worth committed at Villers Bocage with Wittmann commanding 5 or 6 tanks one of which was a Pz IV from Panzer Lehr.
Many Thanks All.
Paul H. :D :D :D .
