As "Gunny" suggested earlier, look into the "Campaigns" and sign up for the "Battle of the Bulge" (starts next week, 7 Nov). Thanks to "DutchBird's" Order of Battle info, he shows that 7th Army, SS Fuehrer Grenadier Brigade, SS Pz. Jaeg. Abt 124 used Marder III M which works for your recent Tamiya purchase, timing is just right. Anxious to hear more,

Blade,

I looked into Gunny's suggestion about the campains, but I was a bit confused as to exactly what I should expect (or what would be expected of me).

I was left with the impression that if I signed up for a campain, built a model, submit pictures & then I would be "rewarded" with a medal in my avatar?

Is my understanding of how that works on-target?

This will be my first Campaign also so I'll need others to correct if I go astray. Go to "CAMPAIGNS" off the topics list (right below "HOME") and you'll get a general idea of what is/can be involved in a Campaign. Then look for;

IN GENERAL MODELING
OPERATION: Ardennes Offensive
CAMPAIGN LEADER: Ralph Emerson M. Dabao
NOW FORMING! STARTS: 2004-11-07

to sign up for the "Bulge" and find out some specifics about "shonen_red's" Campaign. Basically you pick your own "project" (model/kit, diorama, whatever) that will fit guidelines and start yor project on the "start date" (11/07/2004). You post text, pictures of your project to a Campaign thread that will be set up. Finish by the completion date (02/06/2005) and you can earn a "Campaign ribbon". More details in CAMPAIGNS and I'm sure others can fill in what I've left out. Hope to see you there,
