Many of you know how strongly I feel about our little on-line community. As might be expected, I'm always sorry to see talented and pleasant people leave.
One particular delight for me since joining CFC some 8 years ago has been checking this sub-forum for new creations by Wyrmshadow, whom circumstances have forced to put aside unit making as a hobby for the time being.
So I decided to commission several units from him, mostly meant to fit into my nearly-historical "What-ifs".
The first is the U.S. Holt (now Caterpillar) steam powered "150 Ton Land Monitor". It was the 3rd tank built by the U.S., ca. 1917-1919 (information on this beast is hard to come by, to a point where some sources site 3 wheels, others 4). Its main gun was a 75mm mountain howitzer.
I secretly suspect it was planned with Pancho Villa in mind.
Wyrmshadow's latest-and-greatest can be found HERE.
Enjoy.
