Tiger II is the common name of a German heavy tank of the
Second World War. The final official German designation was
Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B.
The ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 182. It is also
known under the informal name Königstiger (the German name
for the "Bengal tiger"), often semi-literally translated as the
King Tiger or Royal Tiger by Allied soldiers.

On a personal note, it has always amazed me considering the
relatively small number of these monsters produced, how they
seem to make up a disproportionate number of forces on the
games table . No idea why that would be. ;-)

Tim spoken like a TRUE war gamer!
