Ok, I know everyone has their favorite scales, but I think this is getting a
bit ridiculous.....

What's wrong with 1:2? Well, I guess the figures don't quite match the
vehicles which is an issue. I guess that's why I like 1:1. Less
re-engineering that way.

Of course armoured cars are more economical than tanks....

<grin>
But tanks are so....tank-like!  :-D

And I'd go 1:2 since a 1:1 tank is rather impractical in my neighborhood.

Thanks, Mark. I was thinking the same thing, felt ashamed I was being picky,
and said to myself 'like you know so much about WWII armor. You're
perfectly happy when dolled-up Shermans play German tanks in the
movies.'

Ok, not quite happy, but not loud about it... ;->=

What REALLY bugs the hell out of me is when you're watching a movie and you
see a DEIMOS being masqueraded around as a GANYMEDE, for crying out loud.

thing to do is to build a 1/2 scale T34/85, paint _Za Rodina!_ on the
side, and head for Kursk...I mean, Flint. ;-)

not get a light tank.

CVR(T) Scorpions/Scimitars are reasonable....in a manner of speaking.

Or M48 Patton tanks as German Tanks, as in "Patton" or "Battle of the Bulge".
One of my gaming buddies recently told me that the M48's in "Patton" (the
battle in the North African desert) were part of the Morrocan army at the time
. He and I discussed running the movie versions of one of those two films at
Historicon using M48 6mm miniatures for the German tanks. This was part of our
effort to thumb our nose at HMGS.for their "no Fantasy or SciFi except on
Thurs or Sunday" policy.

Instead we're running two games set in Germany in 1985 during the WWIII that
never happened and they are perfectly okay with it. Explain that one.

HMGS? Isn't that the organization that sponsors DBM tournaments with fights
between New Kingdom Egyptians and 16th Century Germans?

Yeah, they get pissy when you walk over and see cannon on one side and
chariots on the other and go, "Oh, I didn't know there were fantasy games
going on!"

agree finding a parking space for a full size tank can be a bit inconvient,
but at least oen thing, when doing the shopping at the local supermarket, it
would be very hard to get dings from shopping trolly's.

Or the use of Dutch Leo I in "A Bridge To Far" as Pathers, that was a pretty
good vismod....)

That's what comes from the over simplification to spears, bows, blades, etc.
