Being in Maine, I will likely never get all the way to the opposite corner of the country to play with you guys. I do, however, greatly appreciate the pictures you post of your game days. Just looking at the participating model tanks tells me you are a relaxed bunch who are focused on having a fun time. Keep up the good work!

I was having so much fun that I lost counts of how many. I think each battle lasts about 15 minutes. We did 4-5 in the morning and 4-5 after lunch. I brought 4 tanks and played 2x on some and 3x on some other tanks. My tanks are big with heavy metal running gears and tracks. They might use up more on the batteries. If you have a panzer III, I think you should be ok. Last time I brought my panzer III with metal tracks. I allowed a young boy to borrow and played battles. He ran every single battle with us and also ran it around during the intermissions too. It was still running at the end of the battle day.

Last Saturday, I noticed that a couple of our senior members carried a little reset unit to restart the tank for the next battle. May I ask where I can get one of those? One for the Tamiya battle unit tank and one for the HL legoDEI tank (if it exits) . I am kinda becoming irritated to pick up the HL tank, turn it up side down to restart it besides asking my comrade to shoot me to restart. I search our forum and found this picture from Etsy. Did he successfully make this? I did not see it in his online retail shop. Thank you!

The above LegoDEI system is only able to reset Tamiya tanks although it can fire hit pulses to kill any tank. It has a few other functions too.

Typically the KV and JS2 are considered Heavy tanks by WW2 standards and in a WW2 themed battle that would be correct, but then rarely do we just do WW2 battles. There is alway a mix of WW2, Cold War and Modern tanks. So weight class and fighting style is left up to the end user.
I run my KV and Pershing as medium tanks and my Sherman as a light tank. I am happy give up armor protection “hits” for a slightly faster reload. IME a medium tank will kill a heavy tank 75% of the time. A light tank will kill a heavy tank 50% of the time, IF YOU fight your tank with skill. Heavy tanks are basically sitting ducks IMO.
