Huh never knew people still made stuff fro Battlefield Evo. Looks interesting. Although I'm more of a modern fan myself. The expansions for it though are kinda weird, exploding goat was it? They like ran out of business or something

Any plans for modern?

Urm, not really...
Exploding Goat was the Company that did one book, the Apocalypse Z book for Mongoose.

A.D.Publishing has published 17 books for World at War.
German, US, British and Soviet vehicles Compendiums.
Chinese army Compendium to go along the Pacific War book of Mongoose.
And lots of Gear Krieg books.
The latest, Panzer Prototypes is closing in fact the gap between historical gaming and weird war...
These vehicles existed at least on the drawing board, or as the E-100 as Prototype.

**kenshin620**

Heh wow I feel like an idiot for not remembering this then. I do remember Gear Krieg but never delved too deep.

Very cool. When are the models available?

???
They are already all available.

World at War is not related to any miniature company!
I used Pegasus, Cromwell, Dragon and World at Arms models, all 20mm (1/72).
For every tank entry in the book is a small note what models I used.
I also listed all manufacturers with their related websites or contact addresses.

**JohnHwangDD**

Oh, OK, thanks.

**George Spiggott**

Shouldn't they have SdKfz numbers (not E numbers) if they were being used in the field?

As ever these look to be excellent, the only thing stopping me getting them is the lack of a European distributor. (or have you got one that you've failed to tell us about?)

SdKfZ numbers would be good for smaller vehicles like the Hanomag halftrack.
All tank used the PzKpfw (Panzerkampfwagen) abbr. I just did not liked it for "Paper Panzers"...
:-)
@European distributor: My e-books are all distributed vie Wargames Vault that is not tied to any country IIRC.
If you are referring to the models please check my answer above about model availability.

**Duncan_Idaho**

Actually the tanks also had SdKfz numbers. The Königstiger or Tiger II had was SdKfz 182 and PzKpfw VI Ausf. B.

E stands for Experimental, and probably would have been changed to a SdKfz and PzKpfw. number if production had started.

Since they never got those numbers it is way easier to use their E-numbers.

All true...

Hi again,

1st - thanks to all who already bought the book! :-)
To support the whole "What If" cause, some more pics... ;-)

E-100, E-25 and 2 E-10s (Dragon, Pegasus, Cromwell)

E-100 (Dragon)

I love the models. I know the Germans had a lot of these prototypes and designs, but there seem to be far less on the Allied side. Many of the experimental Allied AFV's were both impractical and ridiculous, unlike the German stuff which usually at least looked cool. What sort of Allied vehicles are featured?

**AAN**

Thnaks!

@allied vehicles: I am afraid - none included...
My initial posting is listing all the vehicles that are included...
