Hey, so I could give my Executioners some side sponsions. What about updating the Minervans and give all the tanks sponsions exept Thunderer, Destroyer and Conqueror? ^^

It was suggested a few times, I believe most people felt that having an upgrade option for every tank would be too fiddly for tournament games.  For friendly games though I think TRC suggested +5cm move with no sponsons.

I want the Minervan army list to be playable with the absolute minimum of conversions nessesary.

It?s playable. But if you want to use all options.....work harder  :D

Great stuff E&C- your becoming quite the master caster (say that 10 times fast!).  I much prefer the clean look of the FW hulls but have always felt that the lack of sponsoons makes the tanks look too tall/sleek.

Th battle cannons look a lot fatter than the E:A ones. Is that standard for FW russes?  Either way it looks good.

The width of the main battlecannon is my rough guess at how big it should be, perhaps it's 1mm or so too big. :(

The Battlecannon size is about right. A potent barrel for a potent gun :D

Very nice casts.  You will have a good tank company soon.

I'm still stuck with the old cut out bits of plastic and hope it looks okay.

Holy crap! In college my roommate and I would rent that on Friday night and play like maniacs through the weekend. It didn't have a save game function, so we would have to leave the setup powered the whole time.

We never finished.

A few years ago I downloaded an NES emulator (which can save RAM states, of course) and I was finally able to battle to the end. I, um, borrowed someone's BM cartridge. It was a one-legged blind man standing on a nearby corner, if memory serves. I met him at a truth-telling contest three towns over.

Since the sponsons use no GW parts, feel free to PM me and we'll sort something out.
