Crusader Mk III is the pretty one.

A pretty tank? And someone else thought the Panther was sexy! I'm starting to worry about you people!

Recognise a destabilising mission when you see one! I'm trying to discredit the anorak-wearing WWII nostalgia gamers to advance the interests of real wargaming (e.g. Mesoamerican).

And that's where you go wrong, there were never any Crusaders in Mesoamerica! Conquistadores, yes, but they're not any good either. Perhaps you could try a Conqueror as a stand-in, but nobody makes them.

I'm rather more concerned that nobody makes the Mesoamerican troops the thinking part of the hobby is crying out for.

What are you prepared to sacrifice for your mythological Americans..........

Panzer II L - Luchs

just love it!

The Tiger is a really cool and mean looking tank, but I would have to say my fovourite would be the Pzr IV.  It was less complicated then the Panther or Tiger (ie easier to work on in the field), easy to adapt, and easier to mass produce.  If the Germans had concentrated on Pzr IV production instead of "Wonder Weapons" the Pzr IV could have been the German Sherman (sorry about the rhyming.)

Are you sure about the PzIV I thought it was supposed to be overly complex and expensive - the Panther only cost around 10% more to produce IIRC

I'd say the Pnz IV is overdeveloped by 44, but not overengineered in the same way the Panther and Tiger were...

Just scrapes into the WW2 period, but I'd take a Centurion.

The TOG 1 because it was designed to go anywhere..
