Thank you for your kind words, but in the UK it has to be said that we are a team. Mr Arundel ,Mr Palmer and Mr Malton have all built assets ( with various success ) and hosted battles ( with great success ). Thats what its all about. even with 5 tanks Id be quite bored stood in my garden on my own. its the personality's ( or sometimes clash of personalities ) that make each UK event fun. I imagine its much the same in the US.
