Terry,

This won't be my first GB...just my first one in a very very long time. I believe the last one I participated in was around 2005-6. Propeller The main reason I stopped participating in GBs was due to my rapid build pace, I would usually finish a build every 4-5 weeks or so and move on and the GB timeframes were too slow for that. Now that my build pace has shrunk considerably to the "normal" 3-4 months (or longer depending!) per build, the GB structure is just the thing to keep me interested and motivated so I figured it would be good to revisit it if the topic was right. Blitz in the West is perfect as it's been a while since I built an early-war vehicle and I now have several in the stash to choose from. Now I just have to settle on which one! Wink

Bill,

I'm finding that I often finish before the GB's end but now am trying to enter the ones that I could possibly do more then one build that the stash would support.  Also will have to have the intrest in the subject at the time.

Some other Tanks that could be used and not thought of much was the Italian tanks.   Carro Armato L3/33 and 35, and the L6.  These vehicles were used in the southeren regions of France by the Italians in there part of the Blitz.  They were not very successful overall.

Hmmm, building one of those funky little Italian tanks would be fun.... Big Smile
