Operation Citadel

The Games Workshop store in Manchester England held the World Record for a Tank Battle at 1,157 units -- they said it couldn't be beaten. They were taken to task at the Battle Bunker in Chicago.

Video FAQ:
1. But some of the tanks/models weren't painted, did they count?
Answer: Yes. There were incentives and bonuses awarded for tanks purchased within a certain time frame right up until noon that day. Some of the tanks were literally purchased and built that morning.

2. Walkers and Dreadnoughts and Titans aren't tanks did they count?
Answer: Yes. Anything with an armor value counted

3. Why all the nationalism? Why chant USA?
Answer: Because the Chicago Battle Bunker was going for the record which was previously held in Manchester, England. Two separate countries. It was a competition. I don't know how else to explain that. Plus, it was Veterens' Day.

4. Why all the fat people?
Welcome to middle America -- the food's better here.
