The people who play it
The Shattered Continent is better with company.
Frozen in artistic relief, two gates stand upon the moor, the armor already rolling through them. The man dominating the foreground is unperturbed by the wondrous sight behind him. His weathered and grizzled face is illuminated by the glow of a burning cigarette and the electric light of sub-dermal implants, his iron grey hair pulled back from his scalp. There is no soul in the 139th that couldn’t tell you who it was. General Arlington, as depicted on the back of a trading card in American Heroes, Modern Day Warriors. The Savior of Redsector. There is room on a trading card for only one, and little more in the annals of history that managed to record or embellish the culmination of that terrible War of Wonders. But of course,
The saviors were many.
To march out alone into the Shattered Continent is much ill-advised, and it is only together that the Future will be better than what came before it. It is the friends we make, the games we play, and the plastic models we destroy that gives life to Treads. Join the Discord today and find the growing community of Treads play testers, list builders, and general tank enthusiasts. Share your games, lists, complaints, praises, and everything in-between. Welcome to the Continent.

Motor Pool Monday
One Platoon a week, picked out of the Discord, printed with the reasoning that came attached to it. Not the best list: the most interesting one. The build somebody talked themselves into at two in the morning, the trait everybody had written off until it didn’t lose, the four hulls that should not work together and do. Post yours and it might well end up here.
The motor pool
The most ingenious builders are the ones bold enough to do what everybody else was too afraid to try. Those are the ones history remembers.
Submit a Platoon
Write it out and post it in the Motor Pool Monday channel with a few lines on why you built it that way. Once the Platoon Forge opens you will be able to hit Copy link and paste one link carrying the whole roster instead. Either way the reasoning is the interesting part, and that part was never going to paste itself.
