Overview:

The New Zealand 4th Armored Brigade was advancing on the road between Giogoli and Galuzzo, toward Florence. Because the German 508th Heavy Tank Battalion was operating here, the area was known as "Tiger Country". As part of this operation, Major Clapham's B Squadron, 20th Battalion was to capture Giogoli then push on to clear Point 199. Traveling a short distance through an olive grove in his Sherman tank, Lt. Heptinstall encountered a German panzerschrek gunner lying prone near the road. With a deadly burst of .30 caliber fire, his bow gunner quickly dispersed of this threat, but soon they would be the first New Zealanders to face a Tiger tank.
Attacker: New Zealand (6 Troop, B Squadron,20th Battalion, New Zealand 4th Armoured Brigade)
Defender: German (Elements of Kompanie 3, Schwere Panzer Abteilung 508)

2019-10-26(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Piergiorgio Caputo New Zealand winDicey but fun scenario
2018-03-03(A) Simon Staniforth vs German win
2016-08-24(A) Jeff B vs Elmo Menon New Zealand winFelt like a dense jungle PTO scenario due to all the brush, olive groves, and hills. Kiwis need to make good use of smoke and VBM freeze. If it wasn't for the Tiger getting taken out early by a CH after having to surrender HIP to reposition, I think this one would be a bit tough for the Allies.
2015-01-25(D) Milton Soong vs Ray Vinson German winSmall tight scenario. It'll all come down to how the Good guys can deal with the hidden Tiger with 3x 75* Shermans. In this case the Germans won. Fun and tight but dicy and subject to luck of the dice...
2015-01-11(D) Glen Taylor vs Mike New Zealand win
