Ah what the heck:

1). M4 Sherman (varoius models)

2). M3/M5 Staurt

3). Lee/Grant

4). T34 (76 and 85)

5). JS/IS-II

6). Churchill

7). Panzer III

8). Panzer IV

9). Panther

10). Tiger I

Ok maybe trade out the Lee/Grant for British cruiser series including the Cromwell- I couldn't settle on one vehicle though.

Or maybe lose the Lee/Grant for the Japanese Type 97.

And maybe trade out the JS/IS-II for the KV series.

Ten choices are too small Manny!

Come on guys! Tigerman is the only one to name the Stuart?

And no love for the Lee/Grant?

Embarrassed

Only one to name the KV-1, which led to the IS-2 and future Soviet vehicles. Wink

Ten seems too generous, especially if you're limiting to close-topped tanks vs SPGs, etc.

1 - T-34/76. Won World War II.

2 - Panzer III (Ausf.E or similar Blitz-to-Barbarossa period). Started WWII.

3 - Tiger I

4 - King Tiger. Ultimate expression of German armor.

5 - IS-2

6 - M4A1 Sherman 75mm

7 - M4A3 Sherman 76mm (take it a step further with the E2 Jumbo or HVSS E8...)

8 - Sherman Firefly Mk.Ic or Vc

9 - Churchill

10 - Panzer IV Ausf. F2 through Ausf.J

On the Bench: 1/32 Trumpeter P-47 | 1/32 Hasegawa Bf 109G | 1/144 Eduard MiG-21MF x2

On Deck:  1/350 HMS Dreadnought
