GeneralDirection: Correct. If you already own the vehicle in a gift shop package, you will receive the gold equivalent instead, along with a garage slot.

dance210: The x2 crew experience is for every battle, win or lose :)

dance210: Hi Legionaire_!
This crew XP is different from the tank x2 first victory XP that you will see in the garage for each of your tanks.
Unless you right click on a crew member, and select "Personal File" then track how much XP is needed to reach the next level before and after a match, the x2 crew XP isn't listed anywhere. You should notice your crew leveling faster, although at the higher levels it may not be as noticeable.
If you have any other questions, let me know!

Yoott: Relics got pwned :-)

Major_Rampage: First off, we’re incredibly sorry you haven’t received your Logitech prizes yet. We take full responsibility for that. We ended up having a recent live event and were running low on some hardware, so we commandeered some of the prizes. Our plan all along was to just order more, get them sent off to you, and everyone has happy. We didn’t anticipate that they would end up being back-ordered. Right now, the Logitech hardware is in transit and will arrive at our offices tomorrow. Upon receipt we’ll get them sent out right away and will also throw in a few goodies as our way of saying sorry.
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience with us. And, we hope you enjoy the prizes.

Major_Rampage: We are not we ran a poll and and from the experience of the last few months it seems to go better for everyone involved when we do not announce when we are going into queue.  It keeps the queue occupied the whole event,  as well as preventing everyone from waiting around until start battle and then people who don't face us rushing out of battle to wait again.  It makes for better battles for the entire length of the event.

Major_Rampage: Not this week

Major_Rampage: I have watched all the video entries as they were posted,  but still need to give them another pass.
Out of the nearly 400 written entries I think I have another 140 to go through.

Major_Rampage: The cream rises to the top.  And i don't do them all at once I do them in multiple sittings.  I am learning songs I never intended to learn in the process.  I think I know 90% of the lyrics to "Thrift shop",  and  "Call Me Maybe" at this point.

dance210: Welcome to the new people!!  

dance210: Actually, it seems as though people did NOT know what to do, which is why Millard, Silver_Fox and myself pointed out the obvious. Perhaps it is confusing to people new to skirmishes, but there is never a link to the tournament page posted on the forum article; that is why I suggested going directly to the tournament portal if a news article wasn't posted on the home page.
Other than complaining about inadequate time to apply (which is false, there was 48 hr to apply same as every other week) what issues are people trying to get changed? Because I'm confused and can't find anything else....

GeneralDirection: This is the Military Appreciation Month garage. While it's primarily celebrated in the United States, we felt is was appropriate to give a nod to other countries as well by including their flags.

Yoott: once again bold text does not do well for convos please stop
Preorder special tanks are designated gifts for pre order purchasers only ...... hence wont be in giftshop again.....
Tetrarch was a gift given for new years ... no binding purchase necessary ... there is a difference ....
Also its there game they are allowed to do what they want ......
you demanding anything is well.... not valid...
Also they are charging $120 for the pack.... thats alot so in return the people that buy it get a little extra by receiving this tank...... no harm and you wont see 1000000 of them running around.....

Yoott: Op using caps and bold letters does not make your point valid ... in fact it almost made me stop reading before I started ......
Tetrarch was not a special bonus gift for Pre order bonus..... therefore it can be used any way WG wants same as the 59 and KV5 have been recently given out as rewards for contests ans tournaments ....

Yoott: Be Afraid .. be very Afraid......
err I mean Welcome

We are very gentle to newcomers here .... see pic below

Major_Rampage: I go through all of the entries and  and pull out my first round "winners" and then go through those again and again,  until I get a manageable number finalists to post.
