In an GE assault/Allied defend scen, mines can take down a tiger or two. Since they are so slow compared to smaller GE AFVs, they either have to stick to roads to make good progress, or travel overland, which slows them down considerably. A few well placed minefields can force the tigers and kts to take to the woods, so to speak, and allow your forces to ready themselves in hiding, rather than coming out on the roads. Just a thought.

Tigers, while very sexy, are more expensive and less effective than both the Panther and Pz IVf2. Those long-barreled 75s can cut through most of the opposition's armor at about half the cost. The Tiger is also rather slow and prone to breakdown. Better fire rates, better mobility, and effective firepower counts more than bulk.

It's not that I don't use and like Tigers, Tiger. But I only get a couple of them to use as heavy backup for a flank or as reserves. They're just to d*** slow in an assault role to keep up with the main force.
