I guess I'm thinking from a purely gaming standpoint on this one. You see, in Axis & Allies Miniatures, a King Tiger played in a game can be near undefeatable. In this game system, the object of most scenarios is to take the objective hex. Taking the objective means, being the only unit adjacent to it by the end of Turn 7. A King Tiger can literally park adjacent to the objective hex, and be unmoveable, and if you don't dislodge it from it's position (either by killing it or making it withdraw), you can effectively bring the game to a loss or draw, depending on point costs of units left by the end of Turn 10. There are certainly ways to counter this, but the King Tiger is a deadly beast in the hands of an experienced player. You see, speed in this system (and many gaming systems) is not necesarily a factor, in terms of which you speak. Firepower *could* be, but maybe not so much, considering chance of the die.

So, one Abrams would be an interesting foe...or not. This is where the gaming world varies differently from the actual facts world. It doesn't diminish the game, or dilute it's accuracy at all.....gaming by it's vary nature represnts varying degrees of accuracy and detail, and degrees to which chance plays a significant roll.
