Nice report, it looks to have been a great game... too bad there is no photo of the dying tank though :)

Great stuff Alfrik!

Any more pics of the light tanks? The fifth picture is quite a tease.

Top picture and fourth picture have the light tanks being used.  The knocked out tank was recovered when enough fresh air seeped into revive the overcome crewmen :)

A good looking game and some splendid looking vehicles.

Is the heavy tank a GI Joe conversion ?

How were the "Sergeant Harper" guns made ?

The Heavy tank was converted from a West Wind WW2 kit. I've got some pictures of the construction here:

The Sergeant Harpers I converted from a Japanese capsule toy from the movie Steamboy. More pictures here:

Glad you liked them.
