The Dismounted Unterscharführer Michael Wittmann Figure

"Michael Wittmann can replace up to one assault gun (see the Assault Gun Platoon on page of Burning Empires) with his StuG A or B for +40 points."

Michael Wittmann in Burning Empires "Michael Wittmann replaces one of the StuG A or B Assault guns in the Assault Gun Platoon in an SS company. He is not a Warrior team, however, his platoon may use the Ambush! special rule."

Ambush! "Michael Wittmann was a man on the go, always manoeuvring to a position of advantage before striking the enemy. His favourite tactic was to strike from the flanks, where the enemy least expected." Wittmann and his Assault Gun Platoon may be deployed using the Ambush special rule (found in the Flames Of War rulebook) in addition to any other platoons that would normally be deployed in Ambush. Wittmann’s platoon may deploy in Ambush even in missions that do not normally use the Ambush special rule.
