This is the GB thread for the armour in the West GB, Defence of the Reich. This GB is to commemorate the last 11 months of the war in Western Europe and is open to all amour, soft skins, artillery and other ground equipment used in Western Europe between 6th June 1944, D-Day, to 8th May 1945, VE Day.
The GB will run from 6th June 2014 and end on 8th May 2015.
To enter, your build should be of a piece of German armour or ground equipment that served on the Western Front. Due to the confused situation in the last couple of moths of the war, with Soviet and Western Allied forces closing on each other and German forces attempting to escape capture by the Red Army and surrender in the west, to avoid confusion, your build should belong to a unit that was under the command of OB west at the time you are portraying it.

Any scale, OOB or as much AM as you like.
No Crossovers please.
Sign up at any time.
Verly slightly started kits, max 10%, allowed
This GB will run in conjunction with the D-Day to Berlin GB.
Plenty of info sharing, pictures and most importantly, have fun and enjoy.
For those who take part in this GB only, this is your badge, to be displayed upon your fist completed build.
And for those taking part in both GB’s, you can either take the two individual badges or this joint option.
Finally, for those taking part in either the Hunters GB, N Africa GB or Orphaned Armour GB, or all 3, or any of the other great GB’s currently running, remember, this GB runs until May next year. So you have enough time to complete those builds before jumping onto these GB’s.
