Have we enough players to have our own game?

They run the servers and therefore we do not run our own.  The way it works is sort of like this:  

You get 3 starter tanks: 1xRussian, 1xGerman, 1xUSA
You select one of your tanks to play and Join Battle - the server puts you into the next battle slot with other players on the network (2 sides, variety of maps and a variety of tank types).
The better you do in battle, the more experience and credits you get to research and buy upgrades for you tanks.  Ultimately if you research one tank sufficiently you become able to buy a completely new tank, the next tank up in the progression.
As soon as your tank is destroyed you can return to your 'depot' and jump into on of the other tanks and jump into a new battle (whilst the old battle continues to play out to its conclusion).
You can set up Platoons with others and then you join battles as a group/party.  
The tanks come in a variety of types: heavy, medium,. light, tank destroyers, artillery, etc.
The coop element comes in working with the other types of tanks in the most effective way.
When we're on TS we tend to use mutually beneficial tank types to support each other, so if I am in a tank desroyer or artillery then someone else is in a light/medium fast tank to act as a spotter/scout for me to fire at etc.  We'll then work on a specific objective for that map - perhaps base defending, heading for the oppositions artillery and trying to take them out, pushing through a bottleneck etc.

Hope that explains it.

Cheers for the info TL....but...

You can run your own game in training mode, plus you can tick the box marked "by invite only" then invite anyone in your contacts list. It's exactly the same as battle mode except you don't get credits.

Tru dat, but I was talking dedicated server so probably misunderstood the question!

Been playing this since before the weekend and am really enjoying it. OK, it's a bit like Counterstrike with tanks - no complicated team tactics here - but it's easy fun.

I thought you guys would like it - just how many of you are playing it?

All the best...
