Nigel posted this on a different thread.

Hetzer, it gets small which means it +1 to hit ever time. If it had low profile as well would make it a bit to hard.

We are starting a campaign in June (date to be decided), well as the campaign rules aren’t out yet, we are doing the progression system. The theatre is North Afrika 1942, then onto Tunisia, then Italy, then western front to end. The scale is 15mm.

Tweaks, we’ve binned the extra acquires as that was probably an on the day decision. But we are keeping the +1 to hit idea.

Snap! Great Italian minds think alike. The GF9 Tanks are a quick and easy way to add a 15mm tank for What a Tanker at a reasonable cost and look quite straightforward to assemble.

We should capture Cairo on the first day with such splendid iron behemoths.

Have just been reading 'Take These Men' by Cyril Joly, a fictionalised account of the tank war in the desert by a serving officer. He refers to the British using a lot of captured Italian M13 tanks in the period after Beda Fomm and on the retreat from Benghazi when they faced the newly arrived Germans.

The GF9 'Tanks' kits are repackaged Flames of War vehicles so good detail and easy to assemble.

Level 2 tanks (no level 1s left!)
Valentine 2/3
M3 Honey
Crusader 2
Level 3
Churchill 1/2
MS Lee
Level 4
Churchill 3

I am also happy to play British.

Looking at the german charts, as i would suggest that we all start at level 2 the Pz IIF is a tad of a non starter [they were religated to HQ's by 41 anyway] and the PzIII jumps from the PzIII G with 3.7cm gun to the uparmoured H with short 50mm gun. So it's easy enough to take out the Pz IIF and replace it with the Pz IIIG L/42 50mm [short] as DAK had these rather than the 37mm's. Only thing needs changing is a strike vale of 5 instead of 4. Keeping the armour of 4. This would bring the availablity of tanks at level 2 more in line with what you would actually had.in the forefront of the panzer wedgel

This is going to be my starting tank.

Maybe worth starting a new thread on here, so people can sign out if there interested in taking part and post up which side and tank they want to join/take?

I don’t know Andy, your tank crew could be fascists so could stick with the Germans or on the other had they could just be standard Italian army with relations in New York so might switch to the Yanks......just something to think about ;0).

I think only Zvezda do a single plastic 15mm Matilda at the moment (assuming that FoW ones come in unit packs)

I'm in - probably British (Crusader) as mid-war German kit doesn't really appeal

Good stuff so is the scale 15mm?

I will play British or German - just have to buy some models!
