I agree with blurx 7. Memorial Day would be a perfect time

I know I'm no doctor.... but I know when I'm losing my patience.....

I've been checking Area21 every few hours all weekend.

I made it a point to stop in today to find out the news, but nothing new. I wonder if they will ever let us in on it.

(guitar playing) Oh where oh where is our 1:18 news gone, oh where oh where could it be...

Hey, that reminds me. What ever happened to something about distribution news? Maybe the lack in this new armor news is just to get our minds off the distribution news.

Ok, 21C gave me a couple hints today to throw out to us fans...

Clue 1: Allied
Clue 2: WWII

I wasn't expecting those clues... anyone have a guess now?

I get the feeling that Roy is waiting for a test shot before he lets his secret out. I hope it comes soon.

Priest

Post by **aferguson** » Wed May 30, 2007 3:32 pm

I would say a Priest....if not then a Pershing. But i'm pretty sure it's a Priest.....

Of course......a T-34 is allied too...

tosborne3 · Post by **tosborne3** » Wed May 30, 2007 4:40 pm

A Priest or a T34 would look very nice alongside our allied forces. If I have to guess however, I would guess that its the Priest because our Ruskie comrads have yet to see any action in our wwx/d battlefront.

It's a Sherman with the hedgerow cutters on the front

I wouldn't mind seeing a Easy 8 Sherman. A Comet or Matilda would be nice.

Don't want to see a Churchill, yuck I REALLY want to see a Centurion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch the Beatles Movie Help for Centurion Tanks close up! Just skip through all that fangled music

hmm....Roy said 'allied' not 'american'.

tkjaer21 · Post by **tkjaer21** » Thu May 31, 2007 8:12 am

Well then, If it "Allied" not "American", then one of these:

British:
Mk II, Matilda (A12)
Mk IV Churchill (A22)
Mk VIII, Cromwell (A27M)
Sherman Firefly

Russian:
T34/85

Post by **aferguson** » Thu May 31, 2007 9:13 am

my opinion is that it si 60% likely to be a Priest, 30% likely to be a Pershing and 10% that it's a T-34.

Having said that, i still think we'll see a T-34 by end of '08...i can feel the pressure building up on the staff at 21c.

allied - what more easy for 21st but a british lend lease sherman - another repaint but works for DAK target practice

mediump · Post by **mediump** » Thu May 31, 2007 10:34 am

An early Priest with 3 piece hull could be painted in British markings for El Alamein ~DAK target practice~ but we will require british figures too

Could be anything but I would but money of a Priest or Firefly.

V2 MAN · Post by **V2 MAN** » Thu May 31, 2007 11:05 am

Same here

i really want a sherman with a mine destroyer

grunt1 · Post by **grunt1** » Thu May 31, 2007 2:38 pm

T-34.. Some crew, infantry not far behind to spice up the figure sales. How many GI's can one guy buy ya know?

same here. Exactly what I had in mind.

normandy · Post by **normandy** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 6:41 am

How about a Sherman with the T 34 rocket launcher, the Calliope.

V2 MAN · Post by **V2 MAN** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 7:41 am

Instead of coming out with all these different types of shermans they need a special sherman where you can attach these attachments to it. You could buy the attachments in a package seperately.

Just an idea

I'd be interrested to see something other then a sherman will be looking out for this
