I've recently compiled the information on all the available rosters for Girls und Panzer. In addition to what is seen in the anime, manga, and film, a lot of supplementary material has been published in the Japanese magazine Gekkan Senshado.

I've also annotated the roster list with my shopping preferences. Large numbers of plastic kits and some resin are already in hand and in the works. More on the way. Company B decals on the way. Metal kit ordering will commence once I've largely caught up on assembling and painting the plastics.

All the roster info and shopping notes are on the XCel spreadsheet linked in this blog post: link

Awesome!

I think I need to buy GuP and hit the guys in the gaming group with it.

GuP is a guilty pleasure of mine, it's completely ridiculous and yet awesome fun. I look forward to seeing what you've come up with minimo as I've got a similar project on the back burner. Company B seems to be missing Pravda, Anzio and St. Gloriana's schools as well as Aardvark, Volleyball and Lion decals in 15mm though.

Word from Company B is that decals for Pravda, Anzio, and St. Gloriana, plus half a dozen character figures should be available by September.

No word on the missing Oorai mascot decals alas.

While the premise of the series is indeed quite fantastical, it is an ideal setting for WW2 tabletop tank gaming — tank skirmish at close range with no infantry!

"Word from Company B is that decals for Pravda, Anzio, and St. Gloriana, plus half a dozen character figures should be available by September."

Excellent news, thanks for that.

"No word on the missing Oorai mascot decals alas."

Not a big deal really as you can always add the decals when they become available.

"While the premise of the series is indeed quite fantastical, it is an ideal setting for WW2 tabletop tank gaming — tank skirmish at close range with no infantry!"

Absolutely! It's also a plus for those of us who have gaming friends with little to no interest in historical war gaming. They seem to not mind tank bash ups, but the full historical experience would put them off right away.

Of course, if more folks send Company B messages enquiries about the missing mascots and other schools' insignia while ordering what they do have, that would help them assess the market ^,^

I've already been asking them about Anzio, Chihatan, Jatkosota, and Maginot.
I hadn't asked about Koala yet, because those emails were before I discovered that Eureka makes the Sentinel tank (and immediately ordered a pair, and then the Zvexda kits to fill out their team)!

Already done, I blame you.:)

With 2 of us, they'll have to make more ~,~

I wouldn't worry abut it too much, I'm sure there are some closet GuP fans lurking on here. When I ordered my decals I noticed that several 28mm sets were sold out.

Thanks for the rosters, there are some interesting looking teams there.
