Well, that seems good, TH. The campaigns page has the size limits on it. I would also like to see a star or a cluster on it for every Abrams someone completes if it is possible. So everyone would get one star, and then they could get up to two more if the build more Abrams like Jurgen is planning. I would also call for a general vote on this to accept this ribbon and my proposal for the stars. Do it in a PM to me though, as this could make the thread incredibly long.

Howdy BroAbrams,
Glad you like it. In regards to the multiple versions of the same ribbon ( " stars or clusters" )being awarded for the same GB or Campaign. You might want to talk to Staff_Jim about the 'dynamic' posting restrictions of that option. Apparently there are certain difficulties that have to be overcome for that to be an option.
I am trying to do the same thing for my Artillery Campaign and have been advised of the 'issue'. I don't doubt our fearless leader Jim is working on it.

Howdy Tankleader,
Many thx for the pic. Interesting mod. Is it in use now, or in the R&D stage?
Tread.
Wouldn't be that hard to scratch.

The Pictures are from the final prototype, they are to be fielded immediately.

Howdy Tankleader,
Mighty glad to hear that!
Anything that protect's our men in the field
should be on the 'fast-track'!
Ya know Tank, I can't help but notice some similarities with this 'new' MG shield.......I don't suppose we counciled with the IDF on this little project, did we?

Hello Treadhead,
I can't really say
. I know that a few of the civilian Pentagon Police Hummers that I climbed on today had an almost identical set up.

Hi guys! Finally decided to join this campaign! I'll have to do 3 1/35 Abrams (DML M1A1HA, Trump M1A1HA and Trump M1A1HA with mine plow). Right now, I'm working on my Trump M1A1 and my DML one is 30-40% complete.

Hi there SR nice to have you aboard. Whow! 3 Abrams? That's quite a handful there SR. Good luck with your build.

Thanks cardinal! I don't know if I can finish the third one (M1A1 with Mine Plow). I will have to superdetail this one. Right now, I'm practicing both the DML and Trumpeter OOB. I'm still finding detail shots on the exterior of the tank.

Sorry Guys,
I need to bow out of the campaign, I got orders to go join the real one. I will be back in about 7months. I will take some cool photos and post them when I return.

It is with some regret that I inform you that I must step down as the leader of this campaign. Issues within my personal life have caused me to take this action. I apologize for the trouble this will bring to you. I expect the campaign to continue, however and would encourage you to choose another campaign leader. I would suggest Turrettoad 13 (Carlton) as he is very knowledgable about the Abrams. Thank you.

- Rob, really sad to hear this and I hope things work out for you in record time! I think the Campaign is well on its way and the guys are chugging along. There won't be a problem if TT or someone else steps up to take the helm.
