Count me in Gents, I have a question would StuG's with the 10.5's in the Infantry support role be acceptable??? I think they fit the Bill.. Any Guidance. I hope it is a Legit question.





Hi Eugene!

It is a legitimate question and the answer is absolutely YES!! As long as it's a StuG III or IV, ALL gun designations are accepted and we DO welcome you to the Sturmgeschütz Brigade Build

I did pick up a Voyager Stuk40 L/48 aluminum barrel kit with the Saukopf Mantlet for my build.

Although i'm not sure i can get three campaigns finished in time, (i'm allready in two more that will begin in summer), i think it is time to dig into my stash and find that Gunze Sangyo Stug 40 i had almost forgotten i had. I will definately try. So count me in too.

My birthday falls right before the campaign starts
Couldn't have been a better start time than that! Can't wait for this to kick off.

Hi there,
just a silly idea, but maybe we should call this the "Sturmgeschütz birthday club".
Jeffs birthday is on July 4th, Conor´s right before the start, mine is June 20th and the big one- the Stug, it first ordered on the June 15th 1936.
I quote:
`the official order for a Sturmgeschütz was given on the 15th of June 1936´ taken from W.J.Spielberger-Development and manufacturing of the sPak.

Well, just for fun, I asked the CO if an earlier start date (and other things too) on June 15th would be possible and have not received an answer. I should have done more research and put more thought into it before I submitted it.

Oh well, it was just a thought, amongst other ideas as well. He probably has his plate full of fires to put out so I'll let it slide.

Hey Jeff slow down mate, it was only a joke with Sturmgeschütz birthday club
Maybe we can keep it just as "insider". And I certainly don´t want to take your birthday start date away, it´s your brain child, we all just joined in.
Apart from that I´ve got plenty of started stuff to keep me going until the 4th of July anyway.

No big deal to me, just aiming to please is all.

It's nice to see some people recognize that but just the same, I should have put more thought into it.

Hey Phill,

I never knew you did pro riding, that makes two of us every time I rode I was pro...peled over the handle bars lol, didn't matter what age I still went pro, into haybales, roads, tress lol, lucky i am short didn't have far to fall.

Glad to see you got thru it all with a sense of humour intact!!! And trust me I stacked a moped & still rode it home with my teeth out my lips & handle bars bent sideways, was to bloody stubborn to push it home lol

All the best

Your wish is my command. And Mr. K's magic wand of course.

In honor of the order to Daimler-Benz to develop and produce this magnificent vehicle way back on June 15, 1936, we will start building OUR Sturmgeschütz Brigade on June 15, 2012!!!

So I gave you guys some extra time and we commence in 11 days!

So get ready!
