Cool looking model.

Where's the rules for this beauty and can one use it in a normal game?

I'm not sure if there were ever rules for this in any WZ edition.  I have one and commonly use it for terrain in bigger battles.  It's just a nice model to have.

The Grizzly rules just don't work well with the game as designed.  If you really want to dredge up an old re-hash of conversations about tanks and vehicles in Warzone, I will summarize about a gazillion posts into a single, crystal clear summary.

Tanklovers:  Tanks would be neat in Warzone.  I like tanks, therefore they should be added.

Tankhaters:  Tanks unbalance the game, and are very hard to make work in a skirmish system

Tanklovers: But they are so cool!  There must be a way to make something that cool work in this game system

Tankhaters:  No.  Trust me.   

Tanklovers:  I don't trust you...I hate you!  Die die die die!!!!!

Tankhaters:  Don't hate the player, baby...

...ad naseum.

Hello

I will add my two cents. I have uet to see  scifi game that included heavy warmachines/ Tanks devolve into anything other than a shooting gallery where the vehicle took over the game and the infantry were shreeded. A skirmish game like warzone appeals to me because it relies on tactics not stats. My Bauhaus Ducals have a chance of  taking down Assualt Marines or Orcas. It is damn near mposible for regular troopers in a game like 40K to take down a vehicle . Warzone does not need them .

I concur - UWZ is not a full-blown battle type of game - it is a skirmish game, and tanks have no real place in it.  The vehicles that exist are what one would find, normally, at this scale.
If sing, sang, and sung, sink, sank, and sunk, and drink, drank, and drunk, how is it that it isn't bring, brang, and brung, think, thank and thunk, and ding, dang, and dung?

Don't even get me started about bad, badder and baddest.  Run, ran AND run...again?  C'mon!

well, as always, i disagree.. ;)

the thing is: tanks need to be restricted quite a lot.
1 tank / 1000 is not so much.
if you just take 2*minimum LI and then buy a "good" tank -> broken army..

also, a tank is not necessarily a grizzly.. there are a lot of tanks which are not the god of the field.
think more in the line of T-62.
3-4 rocket hits from the small multi shot WZ rocket launchers (RL-RPG is one shot and run, i gues..) should kill it - just like any bigger vehicle (skimmer, hur, EDD,..)

the main gun is not very useful against infantry, what remains is the ubiquitous MHMG...

if you think of WWII, the infantry stood a good chance against tanks in a rough environment, like rubble, cities or more dense environment (stones, trees, a facility..).


the grizzly, of course, could only be broken....

donīt throw the tanks away, they are against inf. just like the hurricane (mhng) + a good AV gun

Aldrien, you didn't disagree - tou merely proved the point that there is no place in this game for an armored behemoth meant to take on ohter armored behemoths.

Yes!  Note to whoever winds up winning the auction.  Make sure you specify that it needs to be packaged very, very well.  Part of the reason I use my Grizzly for terrain is it looks so nice with all of its broken tread and unattached track, next to my destroyed city buildings!

NOOOO!  Summon the energy to resist the urge.  Warzone will one day shine again and then you will forever have to live with your regret.  There has to be another way to make the $$$ that you need.
