Tanks ‘n’ Turkey 2011

Tanks and turkey—two things we can’t get enough of at Armchair General, especially on the week of Thanksgiving. Many of us will be using the long weekend to drive tanks into battle on our computers or consoles. Others will set up boardgames and invite friends over to digest new armor tactics and leftover turkey, while still others will be revving their Shermans’ engines in miniatures games with the clubs at the game store or at local conventions. Or maybe we’ll just kick back and read about some clash of armor.

To help you get in an appropriately t’ankful mood (Sorry; we couldn’t resist.), we’re running a series of three tank-game articles this week. Check back each day to see what new has been posted. You’ll also find a number of links to articles about tanks and tank battles that have been published on ACG and our partner site, HistoryNet.com.
