Enter 2012 with World of Tanks

Harlech, on Dec 29 2011 - 18:45, said: Not trying to stir a pot here, but.... the Russian servers are getting a special gift on the premium tanks that were only for beta testers (or preorders or whatever) like the Pz V/IV, M6 Mutant and the A-32... AND the ability to give them as gifts to other people (and apparently all premiums as well). Not only that, but they have a new, 11 day day daily triple with half price garage slots.
I would like to know what were are getting besides calendars for New Years?
Seriously, this is a huge difference in outreach to the NA playerbase versus the EU/RU. Wow... just... wow.
