That is amazing and I would play just to experience playing in such in an epic setting
Sons of Mars making an outing, do let us know what you felt after playing a game (been tempted by this one and keep looking away every time I’m at the NorthStar website). I’m still waiting to hear whats going on with the Gladiators in plastic eM4 were planning on doing 🙂

One of John’s relatives with a Mk1 tank got a game.
