World of Tanks

Wargaming is ready to rumble...literally...at this year's PAX West. From September 2-5, a real life Panzer tank will be on hand with a bevy of items to crush. The assembled crowds will vote between two items to crush. The "winner"...if such a thing can be said of the soon-to-be-flattened item...is moved to a special carpet to meet the tank's treads head on.

The Tank Museum in Britain will be celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of tanks in battle. Sponsored by Wargaming, the event will remember the Battle of Somme when the first British forces took tanks into battle on September 15, 1916. Trafalgar Square in London will host a British World War I tank for 1,100 hours on the anniversary.
