I'd be game. By then the pains of yesterday will have faded from memory. I'm in for any Sunday that the Giants aren't playing at home. Those days tend to be longer than MTD.Wink [;)] I won't be able to clear the decks as well as I could this past weekend, but certainly I could join in. One eye on the games, one on some Drab. The later the better for me.
Good idea Larry.

M.A.D. it's got a nice ring to it...October 31 would probably work even though it's in the middle of NFL, can always build and watch and/or listen at same time.

It's not Mad Sherman Day, though. It's Mad Allied Day.

Anyway, the Sherman was able to more than hold its own against the majority of German armour it came across, and for the rest, if they didn't break down (and they usually did), there was always a five inch rocket dying to meet its hull roof. Laugh [(-D] (and I have a book at home with photos of King Tigers wrecked by Shermans that outflanked them. Evil [}:)])

No Russkies, huh? Okayyyy ...(have small stash of Russian AFV's and the odd German or two).... which is the best Shermie kit in braille scale then... MTD looked like a lot of fun, so I'd like to play Mischief [:-,] with the right kit, of course.

I'm interested but won't commit until closer to the established day, whenever that is decided. Big Smile [:D]

i'm in, but September 12 is no good. I vote for any other weekend in September, or October.

Count me in and October would be better for me to as I have 4 kids in 4 different schools. I'd really like to build a Sherman myself but seeing that a lot of you guys built 2 Tigers on MTD I might like to try something British at the same time maybe a Cromwell or something.

How about a Sherman/Jackson/Lee/Grant/Stuart/Hellcat/Wolverine/Valentine/Cromwell/Churchill/etc.? Tongue [:P] T-34 isn't an Allied tank.

Or we could do Mad Commie Day if you guys prefer ....


Me bad! I didn't read it fully the first time through. Okay, Sherman. Doubt anyone would want an open top.

Mad Allied Day?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, August 9, 2004 10:24 AM
Anyone interested in doing the Allied version of Mad Tiger Day? One day, one kit, no PE or AM (except PE in the kit). I want revenge for MTD!

It could be any kit, any nation, as long as it's a 1/72nd scale Allied AFV (By Allied I don't mean Soviet or their satellites. I mean US/UK/CA/AUS etc.)

Or we could limit it to just Shermans, but we recently had a Sherman build.

Any takers? How would September 12 be?
