Man that's a lot of rockets

I don't always play board-games, but when I do I play Tannhauser.

Keep gaming my friend.

And yet, not really that much more "firepower" than a regular Lothar.

Looks REALLY cool, tho…

 50% - 100% more damage against infantry and no Reload, that's a pretty powerful punch.

What's a fair point cost for this monster?

At 3/ and 8/1, with no Reload…  there are no fair point costs for this.

 Ssshhh - don't tell my SSU collecting friend that 

Though it is anti-air deficient, so his choppers will remain a rather large threat.

If it hints a pattern of sorts for the Axis heavies, I can't wait to see a Konigsludwig (following the reversed name convention for medium and heavy walkers) with a super-heavy-duty kampfzange…

That should be called Konigsluther.   Better to have a Konigsloth with two super-Kampfzange.

It's strange, but the Luther/Ludwig naming configurations don't match for the medium and heavy walkers…

Heinrich = 20 mm flakvierling

Ludwig = twin 88 mm

Luther = 50mm + kampfzange

Lothar = nebelwerfer 42

Loth = two kampfzange

Konigsluther = twin 173 mm (kinda like the Ludwig)

Sturmkonig = 128 mm flakvierling (Heinrich-type config?)

Konigsludwig = ??

Koniglothar = schwer nebelwerfer 42

Konigsloth = ??

So, the Konigsludwig (if it'll match the medium Luther) should feature a multi-purpose long-range weapon system and a super powerful close combat one…

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the heavy panzer names. They're just too long and clumsy, and often you can't even abbreviate them. You could call the Sturmkonig simply "Sturm", but there's nothing you can do for the Konigsluther and Konigslothar. If you call them "Konig", it could be any heavy panzer, and if you call them Luther and Lothar, well, that's just like the mediums…

I wonder if we will see an Allied or SSU counterpart to this vehicle?

How about the Enola Gay in heavy walker form?

You've gotta love the silly stats DUST Models puts out.

A model that will kill any infantry unit it fires at without the need to do a sustained attack could make observer units even more popular so it can't be attacked before it shreds enemy infantry units.

Without Sustained Attack, it would only average 2.64 hits against vehicles, but that ups to 4.41 with Sustained Attack, so medium walkers other than the SSU have to worry about even single turn exposure if they move to attack it.

All of that, and it could do it every turn because it doesn't need to reload.

Hopefully, there will be significant changes before official game stats are released.
