      According to Jeff the museum had a conflict for June 4th. So don't blame me. I wanted June 4th.

        Probably a group event scheduled that would make having battle day difficult

          Maybe it’s a D-Day memorial event.

            I just wish we had something "local." Getting bored by myself.

              I am quite busy preparing my battle group to the event. My cousin and 2 friends will come with me on that day. I plan to bring these 12 tanks for us to roam around .

                  In this group, I like driving the Tamiya KV-2 the most. So smooth!

                    I find my Shermans are the main fun. Durable and will climb over bricks. Have fun.

                      Thank you! The president of the LA club applied an additional feature to our battle that I have found out last month. Each side allows to have a tank, with the engine on, to be at the rear as a reserve. If a tank gets knocked out, that player can run back to the rear, drives the reserve tank, and re-enters the battle.

                        This is nothing new. We have been testing this addition to the game out for sometime now. The rules officially surrounding it are not just the engine running, but the tank being able to be hit/destroyed. If destroyed while parked in reserve it is considered out of the game, just like any other destroyed tank.

                        Quite often the reserve tank(s) do get destroyed or take hits before they can be put into action.

                          That sounds so true....just like in the real battle. If the opponent tanks are able to punch thru the line and gets to the rear of the team, they can destroy everything in reserve of that team.

                                      Tank mechanics reported that the JS-2 had engine problem. They could not deliver it to the LA battle this Saturday. HQ decided to send 2 replacements.
