Wargaming.net, makers of
World of Tanks and the other
World of _______ games, are serious about WWII - like totally super-cereal serious. I'm sure if you told them that WWII-themed games were going out of style, they'd just stick their fingers in their ears and yell
"ICAN'THEARYOU," "
ICAN'THEARYOU!" until you got bored and left. Today they have announced what is essentially a doubling-down on that super-cereal seriousness.
Wargaming.net has partnered with the totally real and not made up magazine called World War II Re-enactors Magazine (
here's proof - see, it's totally real). This partnership facilitates their sponsorship of WWII Re-enactors Magazine's annual Pin-Up contest, with the winner being WWII Re-enactors Magazine's Pin-Up model of the year who will grace the cover of the magazine's December/January issue.

Throw yourself into epic tank battles with other tank commanders worldwide. A flexible system of authentic vehicle upgrades and development allows you to try any of the vehicles and weapons in the game.
