One of the better video's on the subject. That looks really professionally made.  8)

I like this much more than the one with the giant robots slugging it out.

Why can't the SciFi...sorry, "SyFy" Channel produce a "professional" production at least as good and entertaining as this for a full release???

Having read the background info about this video, it's quite impressive. It was done with a budged <2000$ and with 1:6 models rather than CGI. I like the outcome very much.
I'm not too keen on the concept of the four-legged tank, though. With its movement rate it looks like you can simply run it down by having two Sherman tanks driving against the legs...

Forget the ramming Shermans, all you need is a few Ewoks and a thick rope.

The Four legs and the Heat ray remind me of a profile quote, either here at LeA, or a pulp RPG board.  "We'll build our own tripods, with four legs!"   lol

That would make it worth watching for me.  Imagine if they hired these guys and the team making Iron Sky.  I'd love a series of Weird World War II movies, rather than the usual junk they've had on.

I assure you, games like AE-WWII make that fine line un-noticeably thin...

Yeah, come daylight there's going to be half the Allied tactical air force looking for this thing! Laser/heat-ray or not, it's going to be scrap metal an hour or so after daybreak...
