I think it's time for another Sherman Campaign - it's been a few years from memory.
Who's in ?
All Sherman types and derivatives, all scales, all wars and periods / nations...

Count me in, I have the Sherman disease bad. No problem with a build the spares box and the resin box could produce a couple of Shermans.


Plus an Italeri M4A1 still in the box.

If anyone has any specific info on C Sqdn 5RTR, 1941-late42, i.e. N Africa, this would be greatly appreciated.

Would be very interested in this one, especially since I got back into the hobby a couple of years ago specifically to build one; and havent yet!

Count me in. I have one waiting to be built.

Hi Robert,
Count me in, I entered the last campaign and only got as far as getting the box open!! Since then the Sherman pile has grown, so this would be good motivation to get some built.

That makes 13 and I'm sure we'll get many more

I suggest a start on July 1 2010 with a 12 month Campaign - plenty of time to make lots of those pesky Shermies
Agreed ?
