The commander is just one more thing to paint, so I generally leave the hatches closed and the commander figure in the junk drawer. |

I only use the commander in the battalion command tank. |

Great minds think alike – I also use the commander figure but only in company/battalion command tanks |

In FoW, he's the platoon commander. Or the Company commander and 2ic. It's not that much extra work.
Most manufacturers include him in the mix of parts, so why not? Consider him "stowage". |

I would love to include the odd commander, but I don't have any …. |

I'm with Dagwood, although Peter Pig does have optional 15mm tank commanders and drivers, we over in here in the colonies are having to wait longer and pay more. I with some of the American distributors ould do so….hint hint |

I chose other. The tanks I bought from Old Glory the hatch or commander have a small post at the bottom that fits into a hole in the turret. Since I do skirmish in 15mm there aren't very many vehicles, so I don't glue them so I can switch from open to closed hatches. |

But if you had a Japanese teenage girl Commander there would be no reason to have a buttoned up tank. |
