We are mainly U.K/EU based players but openly welcome U.S and Canadian players too.
We are always up for Platooning, setting up Tank Companies of all tier settings and in future once the clans numbers are great enough we shall be entering for Clan wars. We have Teamspeak 3 too

A join is exact: Wargaming lists it with the roster. A departure or a change of position is noticed when the roster is next refreshed, so it is shown with the window it happened in — this clan has been followed since 15 Oct 2026. Changes of position are known only from when this site began recording them; earlier ones are not shown. Where a player’s own membership history has been fetched, its exact dates are shown instead, including earlier ones.
