It all depends on which side he's battling or how much cash he has ;-)

Actually, by definition, all support vehicles are destroyed by a single 
shot.  But, that doesn't mean he won't have fun anyway.  Marty Hayes 
holds the record number of supply runs in a battle at 17 ... with a 
reliable tracked vehicle and some hard work, Amir could shatter that 
record (or die trying ;-)

To answer your original question: there were plenty of T34 chassis' 
running around during the war as bull-dozers, mine-sweepers, and other 
utility vehicles.  So, if you get it running, by all means put it on the 
battlefield and we'll find a purpose for it.  (And, if you're still 
craving some "historical" reference, I'm sure one of our resident 
history buffs or google experts can also find a photo of a turret-less 
T34 that was still operational.)
