Picture Of The Week - No 12 - Panther

Took this picture at a large all day game of 20mm WW2 using the Bolt Action rules just after X-mas.  I had a late entry into the game (I didn't make it until the afternoon), and brought on some reinforcing tanks, one of which was a nice Panther.

This is the first of its kind found in Poland.”
