Tight box… BoW Warren strikes again. 🙂
These look awesome
This thing is a beast, and THE choice for the PAVN if u want to take armour.
It is cheap as hell, so u get many more then the free-world lists.
I may not use them for Vietnam but for Israeli-Arab conflict. On the FOW website (forum) there are some very good painted up examples of what u can do with this model, Just fantastic!
Lovely model. Really tempted to pick some up just as a hobby project.
Gotta love lots of tanks
warren opens them like it xmas very enthusiastically
They are some awesome looking tanks!
Great model, curieus about the stats
Naturally the models look great….The T-54 was not such a great tank…..The basic design of this vehicle actually interfered with crew functionability; Smaller than Western tanks making it less of a target; the trade-off being that the crew had to endure more than a Western tanker, adding to crew fatigue and a less effective crew…. The Soviets took a wrong turn after their excellent T-34 tanks…. that being said still a lethal opponent…..
Everyone seems to be collecting the Vietnam stuff, but is anyone actually playing?
Anyone else have Frank Klempaki’s Hellmach song play in their head as Warren looked over the idea of rolling in 33 tanks?
Make that Frank Klepaki*
Even more tanks? Looks rather like Cold War Gone Hot than Vietnam Out in the Jungle. 😀
(Oh well, I’m a sucker for tanks myself.)
Will you be looking at non-armor units as well? Not that I don’t love the tanks but a look at some of the other forces would be nice too.
@3min, the drive spockets are at the rear of the tank, the idler wheels are at the front. This is not the same on all tracked vehicles.
they look like some seriously bad ass tanks
I’d like to feel the weight of one of those resin / metal tanks. Good weight to them.
They look great
all time I see this game, in my mind start one song…

Maybe I’m going crazy…
I’ve had that tune (and video sequence) bobbing around in my head all week. I won’t say you’re not going crazy but you’re not alone …
Cant wait till tommorow, ill get the book in my hands
Neat stuff
OMG I’m turning into Warren !!!!! I want Ironclad and I want lots of it……
M.i.c.k.e.y. M.o.u.s.e.
I totally agree with Warren one bad-ass, awesome looking tank. One of my favorite tank-designs of all times. Still would prefer it in whole metal or plastic.
I can’t enjoy FoW without Dave. Warren and Dave are the perfect partners. Not enjoying this week sadly 🙁 not until Dave appears for a game with Warren.
can’t wait for more videos, the detail in the tanks is amazing!! Great job guys!
the tight box is actually good. The bigger the box the more expensive your wife/girlfriend thinks the thing is! 🙂
