I’m in, but no going button or start/finish dates?

It’s a great campaign idea. I’m going to say maybe, depends on the time frame and start dates. A bit full at the moment.
I’m assuming it’s any tank in British or Commonwealth service?

Definitely interested. Really like this campaign idea. I spent some time reading about the Royal Tank Regiment and how it is organized. Apparently some armored units are/were in the Royal Tank Regiment while others are/were not. I would need help identifying a vehicle that qualifies.

Sadly I cannot even contemplate being the group leader for this one guys … Being ex Blues and Royals RHG/D (HCR) I just cant align myself to the RTR … and apart from that, our history goes back to 1650, a little bit before 1917 :rofl: … it would be like asking an Arsenal fan to wear a Man U shirt lol …
However, I would suggest that the rules be tweaked a bit to specify maybe just Tracked AFV’s and Wheeled AFV’ s? if you leave it open, between 1917 and now they have used a multitude of vehicles as any Armoured Regt does. Even if you just leave it to tracked or wheeled AFV’s theres loads of them, from Mk1’s, Shermans, Buffalos, Hobarts Funnies, Cents, Chieftains, Cr1 & 2, Fuchs etc etc
