PP sells a lot of the resin destroyed tanks etc.
I have 4 dead tankettes for my current Japanese fights.
I am gating very good use out of them. Sadly they look really good on the table top.
Do you use them?
martin :-\
I don't have any. I have never used any.
I'm now feeling guilty.
Does this make me a very bad person?
Simon
Ben and I have used these. I like them, adds to the look of the game.
How about a Sherman Firefly?
Dave & Ben
I have a couple of destroyed T55s for AK47 which do look very nice on the table, sadly Martin has never made the equivalent destroyed Centurion so they remain on the table with some cotton wool showing their brewed up status.

I use them as objective markers.
Its one way to recycle the vehicles that don't quite cast properly or as intended. Been there and done that :)
No offence intended peeps.

They are good sellers.
Sadly they are easy to copy, so some do (shame on them).
I think they add to the aesthetic.
I might add some smoke wrapped around wire and drill them into the model just for a good "look".
As a young man all my dead tanks rolled over with their tracks in the air. Of course men were still able to climb over them and use them as cover!
To keep costs down we make them as single pieces. They would be better as two pieces. e.g upside down turret apart from hull etc. Just too much to ask (money wise) of customers.

We have a few, but generally need more wrecked half-tracks and soft-skins than tanks.
Also, since we have multiple forces (British, German, Russian, Italians, Finns, Poles, French, US) in some cases with different versions (early/mid/late war) we need lots of different ones.
Luckily Martin has sculpted some very useful pieces.
Thankfully we have avoided the Pacific so far, and until fairly recently North Africa....
I use them, and own pretty much all of the destroyed vehicle markers, multiples of each. Even the overturned westerns wagon has its place. The AK-47 T-55 also found use, including some dressing up with bits to make wrecks for 1980's east german tanks.
Never used them myself. I like the idea but always end up convincing myself to spend the money on further figures instead.

I would like to have more. I ve put some older PP German tanks on bases to convert as wrecks, but as yet to complete the operation.
They do make a battle look better if you have wrecks, but just getting the smoke and flames just right with your on table model can do the job.

hadn't considered the overturned wagons, but will look at those too
