WWII German Armor. I think this is popular enough to deserve its own forum.

Hi Matt,

Personally, not really. I like the armour/AFV forum as you get to see a range of vehicles from may countries.

I you sub divide things further then where do you stop? A German Armoured Forum, A German Softskin Forum, A German Artillery Forum, A German Figure Forum, an Early War German Forum etc, etc.

My thoughts anyway.

If we were to follow that line of thinking, why does Russo/Soviet forum exist?

You asked for opinions Matt, that's what I gave you. On the Russian forum I can't say I don't visit it, but would language have anything to do with it? I can see the point of having Country forums where English is not the first language.

If a German Forum, why not an American one and a British One and a New Zealand one and a South African one and an Italian one etc. etc.

Ask Jim S, if he thinks there is a big enough demand then he might set one up.

Sorry Matt, but I agree with Alan here. I like the forum(s) the way they are.
