This will be something I need to obtain at all costs when it comes out:

Please tell me it comes with all 5 crew members

[Endless Soul]

It doesn't, otherwise it would say something about figures on the box. (unless it does, and I can't read it)

The standard sales pattern is that the vast majority of purchases are in the first week. In the case of Jojo, it had about 19~ thousand sales in the first week, and the rest the second week. This pattern does not apply to Girls und Panzer Volume 1 because they printed only a fraction of the actual demand. This total represents the culmulative sales after 8 weeks, with over 1000 purchases last week. I don't know if supply is still a problem.

As such, almost all of the Jojo sales have already been tallied, while there may be several thousand potential sales for Girls und Panzer. There's also been a Volume 1 Regular Edition announced for Girls und Panzer, so that number may rise even more.

Yes, Jojos sales are already pretty much in as shown by the small second week bump. The sales will certainly not surpass Girls und Panzer as they pretty much met demand their first week out instead of not even coming close as was the case with Girls und Panzer.

Guderian and Rommel both were the only two German generals to advise Hitler before Kursk of the best possible military decision which was to go on the defensive, not attack the Kursk salient, and fight and unrelenting defensive war in the East. Hitler went with von Kluge and attacked the Kursk salient and we know how big a strategic disaster that was.

As for Rommel in Africa its important to realize how much Hitler's decision to declare war on America put him in a completely untenable position. It increased the support greatly going to the British 8th Army including them getting hundreds of American tanks and Rommel knew in mid 1942 the Americans would be landing soon to his West so he would be stuck fighting a two front war in Libya which is just about the worst place in Africa to wage such a war.

He had one tiny chance of being able to wage a somewhat effective two front war and that would have been had he been able to take Egypt before the Americans arrived. Egypt because of its large population, its geographic features and the port of Alexandra (the largest in North Africa) was the best possible place to wage a defensive war against two large armies from. He knew quite well how bad the odds were, but rolled the dice anyway because he thought it was his least bad option for the coming two front war and I do believe he was right on that score. Had he not taken the dive for Egypt the best that he could have hoped for is the Afrika Korps surrenders in late 1943 instead of mid 1943.

Just over a month to wait, but from the PV screenshots, if this isn't gonna be epic then I don't know what it is.

IT'S HERE!!!!!!!! And it looks so GLORIOUS

[Sumeragi]

Hmmmm..... Is it just me, or is the geography just a tad TOO active for comfort?

[Top Sergeant]

Kay brought popcorn!

Erika looks mad and Darjeeling looks pleased: this can only be a good thing.

[Liddo-kun]

Action looks intense. Can't wait to see the full battle in March.

My body and soul are ready.

Hai!

Akiyama Yukari, continuing to hit all my heart's weakspots since 2012.

[Gravitas Free Zone]

Oh, that looks like fun. And that's one big wad of popcorn, Kay.

Also, I think part of me was missing Rie Tanaka using an authoritative tone of voice. I've said too much.

Spoiler for I'm discussing the preview footage, obviously.:

It would seem that they're using the training ground's prepared positions? Because they don't have an engineering vehicle with them to dig those berms...

Also, I'd be disappointed if the gag sub doesn't contain "Hetzer's gonna Hetz!" Though I'd be truly freaked out if the show itself puts that into the actual dialogue.

[Vallen Chaos Valiant]

Miho is pulling out everything in her bag of tricks it seems.

It is exactly when you are disadvantaged, when being creative pays off. This is going to be settled via positioning and terrain.

Spoiler for trailer:

It seems Miho is going for highground and turned this into trench warfare, at least for a little while. They are positioned and fortified in a way that means they can't be attacked from behind, which allows all the guns to point in one direction. It also slightly decreases the numerical disadvantage. Regardless it is still a desperate fight.
