Excellent, very nice and rather quick!  If we all painted that fast we'd never get anything done!

I was going to stick antenna to the command tank then completely forgot. I'll do that now.

Great work, but watch out for Canadian machine-guns. PT76s are alledgedly not proof against them.  :'(

I seem to recall reading it in the International Defense Review many years ago. David C. Isby in his Weapons and Tactics of the Soviet Army Jane's 1981, states   "..... .50-calibre machine guns and 20mm cannon can penetrate its thin armour."

Nice battle, Dave. Like the buildings - were they scratch-built?
