Borgward IV

[Andrea G]

Playing the scenario 1119_12a Too Little too Late from Stalingrad 42 as axis, I have a unit composed of Sdkfz301, the Borgward of the title, which was a beefed up goliath.
I have tried to demolish a bridge with it, but the demolition in the scenario is banned by the wired bridge rule, so what else can this contraption do?

[Mr Grumpy]

If it has a hard or soft attack value it could attack normal units or if it has a very high assault value you could use it to beef up an important assault?

[Andrea G]

It has 0 soft and hard attack value and 6 assault value, not very much.
Will try to use it to beef up an assault, if I ever got the chance.

[Mr Grumpy]

I agree, not a very useful piece of kit, even an assault value of 6 is not impressive, I was expecting you to say 20 or so!

I'm at work and don't have access to my games, but if the Borgward is a demolition unit like a Goliath, it can be used to clear minefields and obstacles like an engineer. It also gives a bonus in assaults against bunkers and pillboxes. All of the uses cause a loss of units depending on a factor in the pdt. Hope this helps some.

Yes, it's a big goliath; so it's useful in attack, not so much in defense
