1 14*Ferdinand
2 14*Ferdinand
3 14*Ferdinand

1 14*Brumbear
2 14*Brumbear

maybe in an SPWaW scenario, but I doubt in WIR

Hello Chairman
Schweres Panzerjäger-Regiment 656 as such dosn't exist in either the official , or my custom, scenarios.
In the Official scenario.
PzJg Abt 653 appears on turn 254, equipped with Nashorn.
PzJg Abt 654 appears on turn 211, equipped with Elephants.
StuG Abt 216, never appears.
In my Scenario
PzJg Abt 653 appears on turn 254, equipped with Nashorn.
PzJg Abt 654 is avaliable at the start, in 7th Korps, equipped with 48 x AT-Guns ( will eventually upgrade to Marders)
StuG Abt 216, never appears.
I never thought of adding in Brumbars, as I thought they where specialist city fighting machines, and they only made about 50 or so, and they all served with only one Abt, and I had run out of AFV slot's, and run out of StuG Abt slots.
Statwise a brumbar would not be much different from a StuG-IIIg/ Jpz-IV/48 anyway. Keep in mind that the Attack factor is used primarilly in blowing away other AFV's, which the Brumbar diddn't do too well. It had to rely on pure HE blast to kill other AFV's, and so would probably end up having it's AF Reduced to about 13 - 14 because of this.
