Howdy folks, jeez, another year has gone by.  My first full year since starting with Wargaming in September of 2011.  Incredible doesn't do it justice, and neither would an entire litany of adjectives.  I just wanted to say thank you for making it memorable and worth-while.  You're a pretty solid group of humans.

On that note, check out the stupefyingly large list of events happening in the final 10 days of 2012!

+1 for putting it all down for us ahead of time and in an easy to read format.  Now I can plan on what deals to take part in over the break when I'm out of town.  Kind of wish this was done each month... any chance of that in the near future?

just my guess but you will required to use a code to receive it...hence verifying that you are an active player.

It's been heck of a long time (relatively) since a tank slot or crew retraining discount.  Bah humbug.

Did I miss a sale on equipment? With all that's on sale, I'm surprised there is no equipment. It's been a while.  Oh well.

All good stuff.  I was hoping to see the Type 59 appear for a 1 day sale or something though.  I think something that would be really cool is if we were all allowed to sell back 1 premium tank we own for full gold purchase value.  I know we have all probably bought a premium tank that we regret buying.  This would just be a cool way for the people that pay to offload something we don't like that we purchased for full price.  It is not like we are not going to reinvest that gold back in the game anyway as we can't take it out.  Maybe if not that allow people a 1 time chance to gift one of their currently owned premium tanks to another player?  A lot more difficult to pull off and manage but it would be cool.  Thanks for the stuff that is being done for the holidays.

say modestly - to say nothing.
very sparingly.
Among the useful can be noted only x5 experience.
no discounts on high level tanks!
no discounts for additional equipment!
no type59 at the new year!!!
no premium access, even in the new year!!!

Who needs discount cheap tanks that are already accessible to all?

In general, and in fact - almost anything useful, very sparingly!

yes there is a certain free item coming your way (two actually, though not for all *wink wink*).  Stay tuned over the next 48 hours or so.  We'll be doing a preview of everything left to come.

I know the suspense is killing me..............(and not about the T1E6, but thanks for that too!)

These are the worst specials ever put together. No discounts on crew retraining, no discount on skill retraining, no discount on shells, no discount on consumables, no discount on equipment, no discount on the new premium tanks people would actually like to buy (i.e. the new tier 8's). Why would a sane person even player over the holidays? The baddies are going to be out in force because of no school and the 5x and 3x so pubs will be even more unenjoyable then they usually are, there is no clan wars and the specials are the worst I have seen in the 2 years I have been playing this game...

Shame on WG for putting together such a weak Christmas for its tankers...

Are these the highlights or are they the complete list of everything offered?
Kinda surprised to see no mention of crew training/retraining or crew skill resetting and no equipment sale.
