At the end of 18th century Poland was partitioned, its territories annexed by nearby empires. But at the end of WWI Russia bowed out of the war, while Austria-Hungary and Germany capitulated. It allowed Poland to regain its freedom in 1918 — and it celebrates its Independence Day on November 11th, the anniversary of the end of World War I.

On November 3rd, 1918, Austria-Hungary capitulated in World War I, its territorial concessions allowing Italy to complete its reunification that began way back in the middle of the XIX century. Thus November 4th, the day that the armistice went into effect, is celebrated as National Unity and Armed Forces Day. Italians were celebrating it before Mussolini’s rise to power, during his premiership and after where it’s the only holiday to have remained in effect for the past century.

Until 20:00 GMT on the 14th of November - get a gift decal “Approved by Wiki: M-51 (W)” with the purchase of M-51 (W) Pack.

M-51 (W)
Call it simply “Super Sherman”! Israel’s design prowess also affected the legendary American M4 Sherman by turning the compact medium tank into a platform for the monster 105mm cannon from the French AMX-30.

All other minor modifications pale into insignificance against this gun. Obviously the tactics in the M-51 (W) should be appropriate - you are an excellent covering fighter who is guaranteed to take out several enemy tanks in a battle.

For those who are researching Israeli vehicles, love Shermans in all their manifestations or just like vehicles of unusual shapes and sizes. About the rest we are telling you in t... Read more

Generally the issue manifests when a team tunnel-visions on capture points, or even worse, ignores an entire side of the map. (We've all been in a match where literally every single player, except maybe one, spawns on one point and leaves half the map unguarded...). So, if a team is willfully blind, do they not deserve to lose? --- And to the handful of players who can see what is going on, why do they not act accordingly (EG: (A) If the situation isn't criti...

HMS Glorious is a WWI-era British battlecruiser purpose-built for an ambitious plan to defeat Germany through a naval invasion on its eastern flank.

Briefly: An extremely lightly armoured but nimble British battlecruiser design, sporting 15’’ cannons.
