If you're worried about the early war Sherman, but not the early war pzIV and tiger, if be confused. It'll likely be a lower cost, less hull, and possibly lower initiative 75.

If we're talking wish lists I'd like -
Brits - Churchill , Sexton
Germans - Tiger II , Marder , maybe Hetzers
The Churchill would be well useful for desert war and later and the T2 is just so much fun to try and take out. I already have both with mocked up cards. I allow myself 1 unofficial per country. The other 2 being a KV2 because it's so daft and a Hellcat because it isn't.
Like many seem to have done I bought the El Alamein set for the cheap tanks so I had a go at the V4 FOW rules. I used to play FOW and to be honest , though it's more involved and more realistic as a war game it's nowhere near as fun or as informal as Tanks. You can drag a stranger off the street for a game of Tanks , which is why I like it. Lets hope it doesn't continue to be some sort of back burner 'also ran ' because it strikes me that if it does - as the game is so good - Tanks lovers will continue to play making up their own bits of new rules and unofficial stuff - which is obviously an income opportunity wasted by GF9. Get stuff on shelves and we'll buy it.

I'd rather not have more lend lease for the Russians (I'll take them though), when there are dedicated Soviet models that are needed. And that were manufactured in quantities that makes it more realistic to see them fielded. The entire red army only got 54 M10s..!

Is there any Oficial Source? Or do we have to use the ouija to get answers.

Most seem to want newer, bigger & better. Personally, I would like to see early war Polish, German, French, British & Italian plastic, in that order. Some of which could be used in the desert campaign. Edited by user Monday, July 24, 2017 9:57:59 AM(UTC)

But yeah mostly UK repacks My online retailer has PreOrders up for the US Lee, and the Priest and I think the other two US releases mentioned above. So I think we shall see those next. [edit] just double checked: US Lee, Priest, Stuart, and M3A1 Sherman are on the preorder list, plus a terrain pack, and 3 playmats. [2nd edit] Or what Naginata posted.

Jhary, my sympathies, I know that pain all too well.
Also, I think I would like to see a customisation/conversion set. Basically a blister whidh contained decals and a sprue with commanders, armours, camo nets etc, enough for 5 or so tanks. In fact, one of these themed for each nation would be cool. Wishfull thinking I guess. |
Kelvin Griffiths, Attack Wing Captain, Lord Of Rings Hero and Tank Commander. Sort of... |

German, but some bits can be used as international.
