There needs to be more than 24 hours in a day. Where do I find the time to participate in this? I would love to if only time was something I had.

"Note that no more than 640 teams may participate in the Veteran's Challenge Tier 8"

So does that mean an unlimited number of teams can participate in the Tier 6 and 4 categories?

Another great opportunity for players in general and good luck to all. And to WG.net, thank you SO much for allowing Canadian players to support the United States' veteran's charities!

What was the reasoning for a 6 person limit? Wouldn't it make more sense to allow 7 or even 8 players possibly so teams aren't forced to exclude members

Kudos to Wargaming for this.

This is one of the most generous offers I have seen made in over 1 year of playing.

Again, good job Wargaming!

Perhaps we could have one Canadian charity benifiting from this challenge: like the Royal Canadian Legion for example.

And in Canada, Great Britain and other Commonwealth nations, it's Remembrance Day on the 11th of November, not Armistice Day. The French celebrate Armistice Day in Europe.

I'm offended.

Remembrance day is a common wealth day of remembrance. Not only was the banner of a Canadian monument and a Canadian veteran ( see poppy ).
BUT the fact that War-gaming North America only chooses America veteran charity's isn't right.

Replace the banner and embrace an American only stance or please be kind to the fact that we Canadians have soldier who died and fought for the same freedom we both enjoy.

I am not trying to say I am against giving to veterans but its insulting to not include Canadian charity's into the list.

EDIT: Its remembrance day vs veterans day. My complaint still stands.

We've donated to a Canadian veteran's charity in the past. We generally change most the charities each time. We're more than happy to listen to suggestions for charities, because our research did not provide many leads for other countries. The reality is we are based in the United States, and so we are most familiar with its charities.
