Congrats on everything Caleb. We’ve not had battles in a long, long time. My
tank is currently gathering cobwebs , taken apart for some upgrades, but with
no battles insight , now languishes in my basement. Would love to have a
reason to bring the mighty PZII out of mothballs. Maybe a spring
There should be construction pics of my Panzer II on the site.

As already mentioned by others, what a great weekend. Lots of hiccups with our
assets, but nothing that the group could not overcome. So, here are some
snippets from my battle cam of the rookie vehicles in action on the field.
Being home these past 2 days, seems the heat was masking a nice feve
Since we have quite a few new rookies this event, I felt I should share some
footage of some veteran advanced battle techniques.
To set the stage. Game was Capture the Flag. There was an impassable river
between the bases with only 1 river crossing guarded by artillery and hand held
rocket la
Rumor has it that there's a battle in 4 weeks. It's been soo quiet lately,
I guess everyone is using the time to perfect their weapon platforms. So, tell
me what you've been doing please. I'm still trying to attend, confidence is
high.
Thank you for your time,
Oberst Johann
PS Anyone seen
I'll let Will fill in the technical details as to the type and voltage of the
LIPO cell.
So, for those who were not there Sunday, can you tell us why the cell caught
fire.The were properly charged, installed, and then the SU100 was driven,
carrying equipment over 100 feet to the battle prep area
I'll be there both days... I can bring water ,beverages, plates and utensils

limited video for this battle, forgot to turn off camera while waiting for
OPFOR to get ready..
The day began quietly enough. Tanks being unloaded from their carriers,
commanders preparing their palaver for the days events, you know, the normal
stuff.
But some of us forgot one ritual.. Burnt
Brief rules recap: You can only score one hit on a vehicle, so it takes 4 hits
from different assets to kill you. It's every man for themselves.
First few minutes of video:
Lesson 1. Hard to break old habits.. Right DougLOL.
Lesson 2. Once that asset hits you, they might as well be you
And it was to be, FOOTBALL. Four on four, three blockers and a quarterback.
Quarterback moved the ball, tackled by being hit anywhere one time.

Entitled hostage rescue, the Smith Clan was supposed to keep us tankers at bay.
I'm not sure what happened, but it was more like we were shopping at the
Hostage Superstore.
The beginning shows one of Steve's many successful runs.
I think the crew of the Semovente had a few too many chianti
Opening scene. Pay close attention to the manipulations that young Mr. Smith
must make to aim the Bofors gun. Keep that in mind when watching the 3 hits
that he lays on the Semovente in the next scene.
Scene two: The Semovente in action. See how the smooth traverse and elevate
work as Frank
Here we have Caleb preparing his 25 pounder for battle. Joe provides a tale to
keep Caleb unaware of how closely we are paying attention to the newest
artillery piece. Near the end Joe slips up and mentions the cog wheel that
allows the 25 to rotate so quickly. As he is firing ,the thunks you h
Query. What happened to the Cromwell and the Patton after they
successfully crossed the bridge?
Well, they met up with Papa Smith in command of T-77.
First he takes on the Cromwell. Not sure exactly what takes place
here, but someone is out of ammo. And the Cromwell
Altogether in the first battle there were 4 total invasions. Two in each
separate events. First in was the Semovente, and then the Pz II. Then the
Cromwell followed by the M-60 Patton.
You can hear the fearsome Semovente war cry in this video. I think there was a
mistake made when announcing i

A new force arrived at today's event. The Smith (nom de guerre) Combat Clan
initially showed no interest in participating, save for Caleb and his 25 pound
anti-tank gun. " No sir, we'd rather not." they chimed in unison. Then,"Okay
if we must, we will play"..
It was all a Pennsylvania
Frank,
I think Caleb needs to be designated as FA008. I think you may
have missed his request in his build thread.. Plenty of pics and video in the
thread.
Just saying.

More from that first battle session. The dialog is hilarious. Pay attention to
when it dawns on Frank there is an unholy alliance , temporarily, of tanks
versus artillery.
Later, watch as Pauls PzII wades into a hailstorm of hurt. Love the dance. LOL.
I forgot that this battle was the debut for
With four weeks till the next battle, I thought it would be a good time to
pulish some new video. Courtesy of Chris, Mr. Slipway, we have footage from the
June 2 and 3 battles of 2012.

As we all know, paintball is a sometimes painful sport.
We start the clip with some long range action against Will's SU100. Watch
closely and you'll see the shot explode on his tank. That was the kill hit, he
already had 3 on his tank.
Next , I engage the other PzII . It was being operated by
Thought you might like a look at the fox and hounds.
First clip. I am one of the hounds, Frank one of the foxes. Given the tally-ho
signal I venture up the open area to attack the fox. However, seems the fox was
not where indicated and I was properly ambushed. After a brief paint check, I

Yes fellow tankers it TRUE. Bad Kitty showed her claws today. Scored at least
2 unassisted kills today. And was on the field all day. This reporter is not
sure how it happened or why, but it did happen. Here are a few of the theories
that were floated.
