Thanks for the newsletter... question tho??  Storm Your Brain winners from last week (Volume #27)?  Where there any or did I miss them being posted??  LOL

They will be posted as soon as possible, sorry

No problem... was actually my first time answering it so was just curious... LOL... no hurries

Thanks again Siberian!!

COME ON! GIVE US SOMETHING ON AMERICAN TD's!

Need more pics maybe stats ETC!

It's nice to see some one actually say something nice about the M3Lee for once. I agree that it's a very tuff and agonizingly slow grind to get through, but it prepares you for the future tanks and makes you think how important a turret can be.

You should mention the "A Day in the Life of a Tank" contest.

i miss the comics   SiberianExpress can you bring them back i really liked lolttraktor besides we never seen the end of the "great battle"

i dont think he was trolling he was being sarcastic as was i. lighten up a bit

 Ricox, on Jun 03 2011 - 09:22, said:

Wow, really ARGO?

That is about as far from trolling as one can be?

I can understand someone misunderstanding that when English isn't their first language. But I thought you were. Either way, bro. That was a misunderstanding/or completely unecessary.

Next we're gonna see ARGO modifying Siberia's posts  

Its okay ARGO, we still love you

Kinda unfortunate.  I don't know how useful that feature would have been, really, but I was curious about how it was going to work.  Could have been a fun way to earn some gold, maybe?

Question:  Can anyone tell me where I can read about the upcoming server reset?  Can't find it anywhere.
