For the paltry sum of $3.50, I got me a little plastic tank for some future scenarios.\u00a0 The set also came with some barricades and a flag post but I forgot to take shots of them before I primed them. In the mail the same day came my Rick on Horse expansion.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know why but that little expansion always seemed so cool to me and I&#8217;m glad I can start using it in my

can&#8217;t even tell you what kind of tank this is- if you know, let me know in the comments!) but the scale seems to work according to my untrained eyes.<\/p>\n<p>However, as I <a href=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/?p=1457\">reported<\/a> back when starting on some farm terrain, Stewart Gibbs revealed some terrain info on the upcoming expansion sets:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For Woodbury, you\u2019ll need 2 smoke clouds about 3\u2033 across, 4 lamp posts, 6 stakes for walkers to be tied to in the arena, and a tank around 7\u2033 by 4\u2033.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So you can see why I wanted a tank but notice that Stewart gives us the dimensions of the tank template and it is massive.\u00a0 My little cheap plastic tank measures a paltry 2.75&#8243; x 5&#8243;. I&#8217;m not too worried.\u00a0 I think my little tank works and if <a href=\"https:\/\/manticblog.com\/2017\/03\/15\/official-walking-dead-dales-rv\/\">Mantic&#8217;s decision to make an MDF RV<\/a> for the game is any indication, maybe we&#8217;ll get an official 3D tank some time soon too. Then my little tank can have a big brother.
