Note:  For 2014, the tank on the badge is the WWI Tank.

To donate, just click on the “Buy Now” PayPal button on the right of your screen.

In order to get your badge, be sure to include your email when you purchase your support level. Next, send me an email with your Axis & Allies.org username so that I can give you the badge. david [dot] jensen {at} axisandallies (dot) org

Thanks!

Just like last time, participants will be listed here. If you get your badge and are not listed, it likely means I forgot so just send me a friendly reminder.

• fmgc just means they made the support donation in person at FMGC12. It’s just a note for me for later.

Wow, thanks everybody, this is a record year for sponsorships and we’re only in August. In 2013 and 2013 there were 30 Patrons and so far this year, there are 34!
