David, please dont paint the metal house. I brought that and like the way it is. The paint is what gives it its charm

[DavidN]

Got it! Aimee asked me to take it home and paint it. I will bring it back just the way it is.

I'll try and paint the inside of my building a dark color so it won't reflect the IR. I may also darken up the Reichstag.

[DavidN]

This time, we had more buildings than before. There were many white and grayish ones too. Our tanks on the same side kept knocking out each other because of the IR bouncing off from all of those buildings, lol.

[quitcherbitchen]

Yeah I am going to fix that. Also, I think I left part off the left wall of the Reichstag at the Museum. I hope somebody put it in the shed for me.

[DavidN]

It will probably be in the shed where we store all of our buildings, trees, and obstacles.

[quitcherbitchen]

I will try and dull up the Reichstag to like more like this.

We should ask our club president to divide the teams by the nationality of our tanks when we battle

Historically the club battles in LA have shown that doesn’t work well and because of such it is not done often. There are a lot of reason for it. But mainly it ends up being very unbalanced with more experienced players always being on the same side vs less experienced players.

San Diego is about the only club out west that has special themed battles where type, color or country are grouped together. Try and make it to one of the next SD battles it’s a total different experience.

That’s not a failure, it’s a feature! It represents infantry with panzer fausts, rpgs, laws, etc hiding in those buildings. Lol.

In February, Haojii came to play with us. He put IR mine devices in some of the buildings and tanks got flashed all over :-)

Those mines of his are great. I use them in solo ‘tactical problems’ against bunkers with two internal pins jumpered so they fire continuously at the reload rate, until knocked out. That lets them cover a much larger area than the motion sensors work over for small neutral temperature objects like tanks.
