I think half and half, though I think the Pan-Andean People's Republic may have liked to have seen the Soviet Backed rebels in Oronegro take over the government.<br /><br />Certainly Gran Bolivia may have got some. As for the wealth of Oronegro think a middle class sort of nation, but an oppressed one, all that wealth is going into paying the bills and it has very little money left over for itself.<br /><br />our families situation actually, pretty well off but still have to worry about the finances.<br /><br />those names are very cool!

Gran Bolivaria might have picked up one or two as well. That the People's Republic flicked them on to Oronegro might have had more to do with their lack of maintenance facilities and expertise for these sorts of tanks, favoring instead the Russian makes that they knew more about. Maybe.<br /><br />The eclectic collection of AFVs is rather what you might expect of a none-too-wealthy state of limited means. I like your rationale for the difference scale sizes, too. Incidentally, here are plenty of unused 'c' words if you want them for your 'cruiser' tanks: Cheetah, Cougar, Cannibal and Curmudgeon (my favorite); Carbuncle, Corsair and Calamity.<br /><br />Just imagine a squadron of Calamity tanks roaring into the attack, supported by the heavy guns of a troop of Carbuncles...Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410457737260240142.post-47054745377894522262013-03-21T20:02:00.132-07:002013-03-21T20:02:00.132-07:00thanks Franthanks FranDaisy Gowan Ditchburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476802587483833107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410457737260240142.post-89010655694108820632013-03-21T11:50:54.176-07:002013-03-21T11:50:54.176-07:00More tankie goodness Gowan.More tankie goodness Gowan.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410457737260240142.post-76471707082263822992013-03-21T11:46:46.209-07:002013-03-21T11:46:46.209-07:00I hope so. but I guess I'll have to see how th...I hope so. but I guess I'll have to see how they fare in miniature warfare.<br /><br />thanks and have a nice day.Daisy Gowan Ditchburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476802587483833107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410457737260240142.post-81121288334380264272013-03-21T11:10:43.246-07:002013-03-21T11:10:43.246-07:00Looks good and I think the 1/76 kits are fitting i...Looks good and I think the 1/76 kits are fitting in nicely in their new capacity as urban tunnel fighters.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.com
