PzKpfw Maus (TL 6)
    Copyright (C) 1996 by James Lowry (jlowry@tfb.com).

        The Maus ("Mouse") was a German super-heavy hank concept that was never
    completed.  It would have been the WWII equivalent of an Ogre, with armor
    thick enough to be impenetrable, a gun large enough to demolish anything
    alongside a smaller one for less well armored targets.
        Of outrageous proportions, it weighed about twice as much as any other
    tank in existence.  Almost no bridge in Europe would have supported the
    monster, so the engine was equiped with a snorkel for crossing rivers.
        Work started in June 1942, and the prototype started testing in
    November 1943 with a large weight in place of the turret, and continued
    until May 1944, when the turret was recieved and the tank was completed in
    early June.  It and a second prototype were blown up before advancing
    Russian armies reached the testing center.  Components for as many as ten
    more tanks were being built at the end of the war.

    or HE (exp.|6dx4[6d]|11|n/a) ammo and a MG42 machine gun
    (crit|cr|7d|20|12|1000|3900|20|50) mounted coaxially with the main gun. The
    turret is turned with the second engine.
        I used _Panzerkampfwagen: German Combat Tanks 1933-1945_ by Chris Ellis
    and Hillary Doyle and "The Maus That Almost Roared" by S. R. Cobb in Vol.
    2, No. 12 of _AFV-G2_ as reference.
        The Maus (v. 0.99) is a TL 6 vehicle [July 96 errata sheet] with my
    armor sloping table, a weapon from High-Tech, a new weapon and Onno Meyer's
    extra-extra heavy body rules.

    150mm Tank Gun (TL 6)
        An extremely large anti-tank gun was developed for use on this
    behemoth.  It is $120,000, 6,000 lbs., 150 cf, HT 175, and requires a crew
    of two.  The ammunition uses the same statisticss as the 155mm Howitzer,
    but is incompatible with it.

    XXH and XXXH Vehicles (TL 6)
        Sometimes a vehicle has to be loaded well beyond practical limits. This
    will create problems once the vehicle leaves concrete factory floors - GMs
    should be creative with getting stuck or crumbling roads.
        The TL6 advanced XXH body is $120 and 6 lbs. per cf, carries 120 pounds
    per cf and has a HT of AF*4. The TL6 advanced XXXH body is $140 and 7 lbs.
    per cf, carries 150 pounds per cf and has a HT of AF*5.
