Not too quick there boys I should have a couple early runs with my T-55 and unless you run away we may find that Cats are a little Squeemish.

Aside from starting a fire with a machine gun wiring plug I stuck into a smoker unit outlet in the TK-22 to get it out of the way,and having the collective wiring having little room under the turret causing the turret to stick, and the Hooben turret base plate and ring assembly bolts interfering with the rotation motor, I think I have a shot.
Every thing else seems to work.

I love it, Wayne doing trash talk!    Way to go Wayne!  

If your new T-55 doesnt get them, you always have the Leopard to reek havoc with.

So, it takes a post WWII tank to beat a Tiger?  

Perhaps I'll have to do something up in these markings to even things up, next season 

Stinger and I will be cutting the grass and weed whipping the field, tomorrow, so it will just need a quick cut on the 20th to be ready for the Sept Meet.

We got the cutting done, today.

It needed it.

If the weather is kind to us, we will get another cut in before the Sept. 21 and the field will be in good shape for the meet.

If the cats can't take a bunch of drunken Russians ill be surprised we have the advantage throu sheer fire power .....and way to go wayne trash talkin

Ok guys our first fall weather battle day is nearly upon us! The long range forecast looks good and it looks to be a great weekend.
With all the new products on the horizon I want to stress again for everyone that I show up with the main objective of kicking but in my toy tanks... (sorry, 'models'), and I want to get in at least six or seven battles! 
Hopefully my new cap will instill some authority in me... Hehe... expect regular, loud calls to combat.
This weekend's going to kick butt guys

In order to maximize our time on the field, I plan to arrive by 08:00 to open up the building and trailer, get the bbq out and (if my back is up to it), get some of the tables out.

I will set the trees and buildings out to help speed up setting up the field.

If all goes well, and the early arrivals pitch in, I think we can have set up done by 09:30 and be ready to make the most out of the day.

.

If we can ask people show up at 9:00 to help set up the field so we can get operations underway for 9:30-ish.

Starting this month, we will be implementing a schedule for the day.  There will be plenty of time for socializing as long as we all pitch in and stick to the schedule.

The plan is to have 8 battles for the day. Please be ready to battle for 9:30.  If everyone shows up late, we will not be able to get all the battles in.

Here is the schedule:

Better make the battles 15 minut longer just to give those Russians a chance

After several discussions, we determined most battles lasted in the 20-25 min range so 30 mins was allotted to each battle along with a 15 min break between battles to accomodate battery changes as necessary.

This will be a trial schedule and can be tweaked as necessary.

I would ask that everyone give their best shot (pun intended) to keeping on time as I really don't want to have to get Strato to "Drill Sargent" all over you.

Ha! You need an extra 15 mins just to get that lumbering, slow, prone to breakdown KT to the battlefield from the tents!

Good thing its a tiger 1 not a king tiger that's ok the tiger 1 will take care of ya real good

Tiger, oh that's another story! LOL! Engine fires, cracked drive sprockets, transmission issues... Not to mention you need a whole maintainance battalion to follow you around!

This little grunge match between Dean and Doug has given me an idea battleday match.  

Hmmm... I thinking old school yard rules, Dean and Doug as team captains and take turns choose their squad.
Last man standing WINS!  

Loser gets his picture taken with his tank and a white flag by Stinger and gets posted front page on the site!

Hey guys while you all are trying to set up games for the Germans and the Russians the Canadians are going to get " Trucked In", Beat about the Bush, Lie in wait and Dispatch the " Tigers"

Wayne

look at that monster!!!

You guys are trouble, all of you!

I say great idea ....Dean your Gona need a good mechanic and a Advil..well ....the whole team might ...

But the whole team is in on the pic just because its a team loss not just a captain

 
O.K. but lets make it real interesting, as Captains we should have something more on the line than pics soooo.... I am bringing delicious BBQ pulled pork on wonderful Portuguese buns. I also will be bringing hot dogs. The winner gets pulled pork the loser...a hot dog! So our team battle should be the one just before lunch.  Also, should we have an umpire? If so lets put it out there for a volunteer?
