A friend recommended me this anime on the grounds that I've written my dissertation on World War II tanks, and he wanted to see my response to the show (I also never watch anime, so I guess he figured this would be a good way for me to cut my teeth)

I started it up expecting to spend the first two episodes tearing into it and then stopping, but two days later I've finished the entire thing. I have to say I am very impressed with what they managed to pull of with this show and I think I'll definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for another season or something.

I was really worried that the tanks would stay as... 'stylized' as they were in the first battle, but I'm really glad that they reverted them back to their original paint schemes.

(History Team really is the best team)

If you still want more I recommend the fourth OVA (Kore ga Hontou no Anzio-sen Desu! / This is the Real Anzio Battle!). It shows their fight with the italian team.

Pretty much everything GuP is available from /ak/'s wiki.

(Btw what's the policy on linking to subs and scanlations? I don't recall seeing anything about it in the FAQ but I might be missing something critical)

The skit with the Panzer Rangers was pretty gold as well.

As I watched more of the film, I became increasingly cool with the Continuation team just being really loving weird, inexplicable, and badass. I feel that their presence should be kept to a minimum from now onwards to preserve that air of mystery.
They're totally ridiculous. The instrument she carries? She uses it as loving sonar. It's how she could call shots and evasion without even looking.

I like how the Finnish team are the only team to not have tanking jackets/uniforms. They just wear their schools sweatsuits. Combined with how they apparently stole a KV-1 from Pravda, it seems their tank program is strapped for funds, just like WWII Finland :v:
They're hobo as gently caress.

Here's a summary of their audio drama.

[Remember how someone pointed out that in-universe article about Pravda demanding its tank back from Continuation?]

-2ºC is 'pretty warm'. And Mika is apparently a food ninja, capable of eating a ton with nobody noticing.

Other audio dramas:
Pravda (VAs show off their Russian and Klara and Nonna show off their Katyusha obsession. The second part is the same but with the russian replaced with japanese)
St. Gloriana (Haven't read it yet)

Oh, and here's the semi-official map of the various schools and their respective prefectures.

It's from the GuP Gallery in RL Ooarai. (Translated ofc)

It's not like they dock all the time. Presumably they just borrow a nearby one.
