Pricing and benefits captured publicly

Patreon is not exposing patron counts by tier for this creator, so this section shows public prices and benefits only.

$0/moFreePublic prices and benefits only

$2/moS4, SupplyOperations won't get far without the logisticians, those often unremarked chaps who rarely get the glory or the rewards. The efforts may not be dramatic (And neither are the tier rewards), but regular supply is essential. At this level, the primary reward is, frankly, the satisfaction of knowing that you helped contribute to the newly released video you just watched, and that it permits more of the same to look forward to in the future. - This tier privilege is a guarantee that I will read your comments on Patreon, and almost certainly will reply to them. (I'm beginning to get overwhelmed on Youtube and FB) - Assuming I figure out this Patreon Lens business, you'll get whatever I put on it as I go about things

$5/moS6, Commo"You may talk about us, but you can't talk without us". -If you select this tier, you have my attention. In addition to the lower tier benefits, welcome to the Discord server: rapid, two-way communications has been established. Note: This is done manually, so at the beginning of the month (when the charges are made), watch for the invite. - -You also get to know my schedule; at least, when I have it figured out. This will allow for physical meet-ups if I happen to be in your area.

$10/mo-10 Level, OperatorAll vehicle operations are founded on the basics of the crew doing what they need to keep a vehicle running. In US parlance, the -10 level. (Hence the operator's manual is referred to as the 'dash-10', named after its serial number). As a reward for their contributions, they also get a bit of fun. -In addition to the lower tier benefit, this tier permits access to a monthly live-stream, a general chit-chat session. Questions answered to the best of 'at the time' ability. Time/Date will vary a bit per month to accommodate time zones

$15/moS2, Intel.Intelligence drives and supports the operations process. At least, so it says in ADP 2-0, the US Army's manual on the subject. -In addition to the lower tier benefits, you have reached the level of "Q&A Submission". These will be responded to with answers researched to the best of my ability ahead of recording a recurring Q&A Video.

$25/moLogisticsWow! You think my product is as valued as a subscription to a popular on-line video-streaming service! I'm honored. Logistics guys get the supplies, equipment and personnel to where they need to be, and at this level, you're contributing heavily to the travel budget to get to faraway places with unusual tanks like Bovington, Munster, Arsenalen, Cairns, etc. I'm starting to run out of tier benefits, here. - Future merchandise available "at cost". - Online play, be it platoon battles in WoT, Co-Op in Steel Beasts, PBEM in Combat Mission, H2H in Wargame or Harpoon... If I have the game (or have any interest in it), you have my time.

$50/moS3, Operations.Usually the ranking members of the S-Staff, these are the guys who develop the order and run the battle. I have a very particular set of skills. I shall look for you. I shall find you. And I shall buy you a drink. OK. Obviously, if you're at this tier, you don't need me to buy you a drink. But in addition to the lower tier benefits, the least I can do is find you and say thanks. Assuming you are somewhere near something I am to film, of course: You want your contribution to go to product!

$100/moSignificant Emotional EventYou will just have to imagine the look on my face if I discover that someone has gone to this level. If there is a vehicle you want covered, I will do my damnedest to get to it. It's the least I can do.

Now that the missiles have (finally) started being delivered, after an unfortunately long delay, I feel I can actually return to other merch.
