There should have been rules like that for the T-35 IMHO but this being a game where the counter is more than one vehicle I can see why not. I can't get the Gold Club only things so I hope someone who can will tell us a little about these things when they get it.

Zarrin, if a French, Belgian, or Luxembourois tank gets mired in front of a Marak or Rouleau, which weigh over 400,000 pounds, we will need rules for literal over-run, with the smaller tank being crushed. Now if a T-35 (5 were still operational when Barbarosa began) which weighed 49 tons required a crew of 11, how large will the crews of the Maraks and Rouleau's be? Will they have a radio operator with his own chamber on board? Curious minds will know sometime in August.
And yes folks, per Alsace 1940, French, Belgian and Luxembourg troops storm into German Alsace in an armored thrust during the opening days of the second great war.

Took a second look at the Mackenson, from the April 1st Daily Content...it has a superfiring turret over the rear 8.2 inch naval rifle and sponson guns on either flank, possibly making it a "female" or hermaphrodite tank. Don't think these are included in the first SGWPG release. :-)

I can't help but imagine spotting a "Marak" or "Rouleau" and saying the name with the same intonation as Seinfeld says "Newman."

Further, how on earth did Mike know I weighed over 400,000 pounds?

Larry,
"how on earth did Mike know I weighed over 400,000 pounds?"
It's simple, just look at the size of that zucchini!
By the way, I have some special rules in mind for each of your counters, be warned!

Lol!

For those who were concerned that this was the beginning of a sea-change in PG production, today's Daily Content indicates that Land Cruisers is a one-off product. (Unless of course it sells like hotcakes). I'm day dreaming of the days when I was playing Ogre, Gev (Steve Jackson Games) and Helltank and Helltank Destroyer (Metagaming).

If there are Vassal modules for either of those I'm up for play.

Wow, Mike got the background development article, with photos, of the Marak and Rouleau Grosskampfwagens on the website just in time for my 65th Birthday! I'm incredibly surprised and delighted. :-}
