Tankers!
Are you ready for another special this weekend?

The Second Battle of El Alamein took place from October 23^rd to November 5^th, 1942. The German and Italian forces were attempting to take over El Alamein to get closer to the Suez Canal. Following two operations, Operation Lightfoot and Operation Bertram, the British Commonwealth forces were able to push back the German and Italian forces, thus successfully defending the Suez Canal.

In honor of this Battle, we will be holding another special this weekend, from October 21, (7 AM UTC, Friday), to Oct. 23, (7 AM Monday 24th UTC).

Come on equipment discounts!

need more 5x xp for the first victory each day! i got 4000 xp twice

5x Credits, short of that i dont care anymore.

I got 10k experience with my M4 in one shot last weekend.  Was nice but I'de prefer silver increase!

Better not just be tanks like the Lee are half off. Because who wants to buy that at half off?? lol

5x experience! or maybe a premium account sales such as the 1800 one month deal three months back?

Garage slots half off maybe?

Even if the lee was free i wouldn't buy it . Torture once is enough. just shower equipment discounts. will have the T30 by that time and will need some equipment.

Well no your information is incorrect;

• The Second Battle of El Alamein occurred during that time frame. The Battle of El Alamein, which was a German attack, occurred 1-27 July 1942 and was successfully defeated by British Commonwealth Forces.
  
• Operation Lightfoot was only the initial part of the battle. It didn't involve any tanks.
  
• Operation Bertram was a deception plan nothing more.
  
• There were no allies in either battle it was all British Commonwealth (UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India) vs Germany/Italy. If you include Free French and Greece, no disrespect to those soldiers, then perhaps you might very loosely term it as allies.
  
• There are no British tanks in the game. Those tanks that are M3 Stuart (Honey), Valentine, Matilda would be the only one in numbers, M3 Lee only a few as the British used the M3 Grant mostly. British tanks currently in the game (Soviet Lease-lend) are Soviet versions not British. There are no Italian tanks in the game.

As an Australian, whose father served in North Africa as part of the 9th Australian Division (AT Gunner 2/3 Anti Tank Regt), I find your lax attitude to historical fact very insulting.
