hazard

I was hoping Tanks was going to be at Adepticon but I’m glad it’s going well at Salute

xaussienannh

This is the stuff my dad would be into. Maybe I should enable him. hehe

cypher2009

Tanks looks really good. Fast, quick and simple. I keep promising myself i am going to get to salute one year and one year i will get there!

carlson793

Been really looking forward to TANKS. Hoping to grab everything they offer.

bluehealer

Glad to see the Pacific theatre getting some attention. Often overlooked and under represented by some game systems.

darkurth2000

Oh yeah! Metal on metal action. True monsters of battle!

beakerman

Cool stuff!

witteridderludo

offline world of tanks… love the idea

thehamm3r

This looks like loads of fun. Very interested in this.

swbeil

Love the WW2 time frame, tanks way cool.

jawa011

Would love to get this, im a huge ww2 fanatic.

lblunchboxlb

Super stoked for Tanks!

goblinjester

Tanks is one of the best pick&play games at the moment. I want a copy for myself. Lots of plans. How about some Stug’s converting into Finnish Sturmi against Russians. Or maybe some winter tanks for the Battle of the Bulge.
And the Pacific games, yes please. I really like this theatre. But with Buffalo’s, I think I will use them for the invasian of Walcheren. A great and heroic theatre of the WW2.

lawnor

Tanks looks like it could be lots of fun

zwiebel

Nice to see that TANKS seems a success.

sasquatch1

TANKS!!!! Nuff said.

carlosfandango

My FLGS told me Tanks goes on general release next week. I really hope that it true.

aegolius

Tank you very much

ckbrenneke

Tanks looks fun, was disappointed with the Tank Wars offering for Bolt Action.

johankal

Tanks is a must, Pacific Fow a maybe

pilgrim

Looks interesting – could be an X-Wing style quick game

Tanks appeals for sheer pace and ease of play

Great game and great company.

ultramar13

FoW Pacific all the way

tribune

Got to love seeing more pacific based stuff.

ultramar13

Want to see more Pacific.

donlou

pacific is one of the most interesting theatres during WW2, if I wouldn’t be busy getting my 506th done I would jump in head first!

setesch

Tanks is definitely something I have to check out.

machinegod

We are going to the Pacific for sure!

Tanks looks nice with cards and upgrades and all!

laughingboy

Look great

zammer30

This I s a game that I could get my friends excited about playing. Something quick, fun and easy to pick up.

YES the Pacific is a good one. glad we have it now in 15mm

panzertanker64

Been waiting for tanks.

rupidia

been really wanting to get into this game, been trying to figure out where to start though!

theoneaeon

Tank’s look good. maybe I can get to use all my fow tanks with this. Never got around to actually play FOW and tanks look lige a easy and fast game.

gobbo

Please dear Lord! I want TANKS!!!

perponcher

Wonder if large scale engagements (Kursk) are possible.

m30wm1x

FoW is the only thing getting me to want 15mm armies.

coste

Tanks is what many people have been wainting for, myself since I played my first minatures game.

noserenda

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks?

aven410

Looking forward to more unboxing videos with you guys soon with John commenting with the history of the different vehicles

skillamac

Tanks is a great idea, perfect for a quick game and a great excuse to add some extra tanks to the collection.. Love the comet myself and a chaffee too.. Also makes for a good intro to 15mm ww2 gaming..these games with easy entry points are a great thing for the hobby… Been waiting for the Pacific books since the announcement last year.. Not that I need another 15mm army lol

dvader

Been a Flames of War fan for years now and got the models to prove it. Just need a bigger house. Already have the Gung Ho and Banzai books on iTunes, love the models and got to get the Marine Rocket Trucks.

antiphony

Tanks sounds great.
Is this game limited to WW2 or can you run it with your Team Yankee chaps too?

somegeezer

Tanks looks superb – exactly the sort of thing to get me to drop to 15mm

matraka14

I like Tanks…

darkling

We need Tanks, lots of Tanks.

markryan

Looking forward to playing Tanks. I also am hopinh they do waterline models for the amphibious and landing vehicles.

barretem30

Tanks sounds perfect, I think they re really going to have a great game.

chaosanderson

Congrats on tanks success

elburgo

Really liking tanks. Great entryway for Battlefront and Flames of War. Hope more tanks get added as more plastics enter the main line. Keep up the good work.

hithero

Got my copy today, could do with another please 🙂

mulletsteve

sounds like they’re bust chaps

dicktana

Have played FOW, may try tanks, especially if I had a brand-new shiiiiiiiny copy of it.

ugleb

Tanky pew pew?

bryanec

Tanks looks fantastic can’t wait.

tumling

Tanks looks so fun

mkultra99

Im looking forward to Tanks!.. brings back memories of World of Tanks and seems like it will be a great club game

siygess

Slowly coming around to 15mm. You can blame that on Halo!

grodd1016

I can’t wait for Tanks! That game is going to awesome

smitty14

Two good looking products. Tanks looks like a good quick and easy game. The Pacific theatre….well you got to love the Marines.

leonjong

Battlefront is doing some cool stuff. Have to go watch some movies about the pacific now and hopefully will get inspired to start a japanese force 🙂

constrict

Tanks looking nice

rotheric

Tanks is just my thing. I’ll probably pick it up at the Essen Games Fair this year.

psyche

Amazing. Damn you UK for being so far away. Bring some of this goodness to Australia. SO can’t wait to check out Tanks.

eion755

Fow pacific look greate

jinxx71

Would begging help to win this? I think this is exciting for FOW, and Tanks looks great!

granthanson

Tanks for the win

smashskull

Tanks..Looks interesting..

blackspiral

Tanks is such a genius idea. X-Wing in WWII sells itself! Now to get Planes and Boats to go with it!

fang9

Can not wait to get my hands on a copy of Tanks!

mischief

No Commonwealth forces in the Pacific, that’s a shame, but it’s good to see something fresh.

mliguori

Very excited for tanks. Can’t wait to get my starter.

richardd

Tanks lloks cool, so does pacific but where are the aussies ????

marcnelsonjr

(not so) Patiently awaiting my order of Tanks! 🙂

biscuit

6-8 weeks? I can’t wait 6-8 weeks! Lol

phoenixris

Time to get my Matildas out.

paintingdeamon

Pasific warfare whooooohooooooo

ace0fjacks

Tanks. Heavy metal awesomeness.

mikeyboy403

I’m so looking forward to getting my hands in TANKS!! I’m a bit gutted that it’s still 6-8 weeks away 🙁

toric

Tanks !!!

caledor2

Tanks, who doesn’t like tanks.

drummer

Johankal is right, tank is a must!

apeman

tanks …..tanks ……tanks…….tanks…..war in the pacific ……whats not to love ……want …..shiney

andershaugboelle

In my oppinion, Tanks is one of the greater news in wargaming this year. Simple rules, and the possibility to reuse terrain and vehicles from Flames of War… Whats is not to like? 🙂

spamelot

Man whoever wins the prize is going to be very Tank Full. Looks like a fun way to bash some tanks at each other for sure, on the wanted list.

darkspi

there be tanks

panzerkaput

That tank game sounds very interesting but I would to use early war tanks

ijontichy

Great prizes!

darting

Tanks sounds like a fun game at the gaming club where everyone can jump in.

antiquitas

Really looking forward to Tanks!

andre77

I quite interested in the pacific theatre.

dags

Tanks really appeals, and it lets you do Soviets without a horde to paint

zeker1966

The Pacific war is an interesting part of WWII to get into. Tanks looks like a nice quick game.

tmon

Tanks looks nice but very simple.

ehrlen

Those amphibious vehicles just scream beach assault scenario play!

jmrecoil

I want to try Tanks. Bring it on!!!

oomska

Tanks is tempting to play with my son

dougiemonster

I have high hopes for Tanks. Anything that lets me turn up to club night, and get two or three games in is a win. The fact I get to play with little toy tanks, definitely isn’t a factor into why I’ll be going neck deep into this game!

Honest… 😉

doomzombie

Tank`s does look amazing, Pacific could be a maybe. As i was going to go with European FoW, but i like the look of the “Japanese” so you never know.

attilla13

Very cool – pacific!

dmedesha

My copy of “Tanks” is on pre-order, and apparently on a cargo ship on its way from Malaysia. I’m really interested in trying it out with early war tanks, anti tank rifles, machineguns and other weak shot and weak armor. Guess I’m just weird.

dizzy

Can’t wait for Tanks! too! It’s kinda funny that we have to wait for a boat before the tank invasion. 🙂

huscarle

I thought this would sell well so I got in early with so many treadheads in our club its gonna be a big favourite fit in game.

zaknafein5

Great stuff. We need more plastic tank kits. German tanks especially

madredsquirrel

Genius really good loving it

benlockard

More good stuff coming out of battlefront can’t wait to play some usmc!!!

rcshield

I have been hanging out at their webpage. I am looking forward to this game coming out. Thanks for stopping by the booth so we could get a look at things even if only for a few minutes.

rastamann

World of Tanks on the table 😀

xionxxen

Great.

greaper

Yeah Tanks

iminay

Im so happy Pacific is finally getting released, plus it being in its own time period is superb!

tuisjx

Tanks want to play Tanks.

tomrr

Battlefront just keep getting better – ok time to add yet another army to my FoW hordes…

bear23

cant wait to get this!

sircaroon15

Loves Flames of war and I can’t wait to start playing PACIFIC…a copy would be a good way to start.

Tanks my be a great entry point to teach my young son about WWII warming.

stug

Been waiting for Pacific since V2, now just have to wait for the Colonial forces 🙂
Tanks looks good as a light weight intro to the whole goodness of FoW.

poiter50

Awesome to see those Amtracs!

earlburden

Pacific FOW can’t wait to get my hands on this!

warlockalex

Picked up a starter set at Salute, very similar to x wing ideed

poentje

Tanks looks great

krelldoom

more Tanks… Jon will be happy 😉

mo3355

Can’t wait for Tanks! Be the entry game for my friends into Flames of War! Pacific look freaking awesome as well. Can’t wait to get that on the table as well

theticky

looks like a win to me

gideon7v20

Already pre-ordered two copies of tanks plus some of the expansions. Having watched this video I eagerly await their arrival.

ctp99

Tanks looks superb great demo at salute and cant wait for the expansion tanks to arrive

bristolpirate

Dear Justin, I’d quite like to win some great prizes. Please / thank you.

mwcannon

Not so much interested in Tanks, but the Pacific is on my must buy list

jamesf

Tanks is one of those light-weight style games which has a chance to get outsiders into the world of wargaming. It might not appeal as much to board gamers (assemble, paint the model) but it might get modelers in general into it.

Pacific ‘shrug’ it needed to be covered and will expand but probably digitlal so that’s me out.

macadams00

Tanks! Drool.

dugthefug1644

Still haven’t seen the Pacific TV series but I will get around to it. Not got any flames of war products yet. This new theatre might be a way in for me.
The tank game having similarities to x-wing and my son’s recent found love for all things tanks (trip to Bovington the other day went down well) this could be something we look at.

tworucksacks

Tanks, what more needs to be said.

bigbadbazz

worth getting

crazycabo

This looks interesting.

gwtharg

Tanks, tanks,tanks where is John ???

docmeru

Tanks looks really cool

jackdanielsimow

Played the Tanks! demo game and bought that plus one of each expansion, looking to get another pershing to build up as a super, another Panther to do as a JagdPanther and probably a couple more either Panzer IV’s or Stug G’s
Loved the game, plus the guy I was talking to who ran the demo was a really nice chap. I saw no end of people carrying Tanks! away with them, hopefully it does as well at retail!

radegast6

I played it, bought every single expansion, fantastic simple game not only as staring point to get people in to games!

otakugirl

Yay, Battlefront!

baranora

Battlefront is lovely!

harald0skald

Battlefront looks fun!

eddator227

Another game on the queue, due to my small community of players cant play it for now, but tanks and team yankee are a waiting me.

bigkev

More great stuff from battlefront

hargarpad

Just wow!

szilona

So cool!

patton

As always Battlefront knows how to make cool looking stuff. I am looking forward to seeing the Corsair model.

rictus78

Awesome concept:)

warfield

It looks interesting!

lordtothe

I don’t know what it is about tanks that makes them so alluring for war games, but it’s undeniable that it’s there..

felfeni

I’m curious about Battlefront!

innes

Tanks looks fast and fun. Pacific fow could be good too. Hopefully some nice beach landing rules.

megsmith

Battlefront is cool!

angelicdespot

I’m not particularly interested in Tanks, although I think it’s a good idea and should be good for historical gaming.

I’m more interested in the Pacific theatre stuff…

agashamirv

Tanks would be cool.

ghent99

Tanks looks great but what about the team yankee?

kadmon

I’d like to try this once!

jakab

This looks like an excellent game!

harigeri

This totally rox!

comoran

This seems to be a nice game!
