LA Tank Club January battle day.

[Rubicon99]

This Sat January 8th is the LA Tank Clubs monthly battle day. There will be new field props and a bunch of new tanks ready for action. Even if you don’t have a battle ready tank feel free to stop by there are always plenty of “loaner tanks” available for new people to try out.

I am in the process of picking 3 tanks to the battle. The three KT Porsche, Panther II and KV1 share the same emitter. The panzer III and IV share one too. The M41 and the Porsche are qualified. The third pick will be decided by Firday night.

My mistake.... They share the same receivers :-)

Bring the elephant

[DavidN]

Ok! I will bring the elefant as an extra and put it on the displayed table. It won't be involved in the battle yet till "Citadel" (July), lol. I will drive it at around the end of the event.

And the first time my M41 went into action...It was involved in two battles and it was knocked out within the 1st two minutes of each battle. lol. Maybe my side Sherman on my right wasn't covering my side accordingly

It got taken out because I was hidden and had a great line of fire on you. M41s are dangerous tanks to let live long on the battle field especially ones set up correctly like yours.

The photo does not do the actual size justice. That Merc is HUGE!!! Much larger then an Abrams or Leopard 2
