there is something wrong with the www.tshftopen.com not resolving to the right site.  Please use http://tshftopen.com and it works correctly.

new url works for me.

A few years back Battlefront had a games day open house at their HQ (and write-up) where they had some arcade style games using their tanks. Wonder if this game is what became of the arcade version.

I'll take them both if still available. Didn't own them back then and currently don't.

I picked up my copy last night as well (and some more ww2 stuff begging to be purchased) and will post some wip shots soon.

I'm in.

Myself and CyrusLucainis can also play on the westside if anyone on this side wants to play a game at Rainy Day Games or elsewhere.

I'm in for the tournament on the 30th.

It seems to be who is asked or running the checkout as when I was in there I was told also that only the miniatures are 50% off as I wanted some of the FoW Battlefield in a Box stuff like gun entrenchments so ended up putting them back.

FYI ...  I was told that Rule books are not part of the 50% sale and Paint is also not part of the sale.

I recently ordered my Frostgrave books via Amazon.

me too. bad timing for me to be out of town.

Was it 50% all day or just during the morning sale?

These are the tanks that the Soviets provided to their allies including the Arab Republic and Syria during the '67 conflict.
