And it was to be, FOOTBALL.   Four on four, three blockers and a quarterback.  
Quarterback moved the ball, tackled by being hit anywhere one time. 

Teams:   Ravens-  Will, Frank, Steve and Joe   Baltimore NFL

              Stallions- Paul, Loic, Doung and John  Baltimore CFL
Teams would start on their goal line, the advance to the next set of cones to 
achieve the first down.  Play would be  4  8 minute quarters.

Ravens won the toss, and unlike the NFL to day, elected to have the ball.
Joe and the Hetzer played quarterback while the  Semovente, SU100and Cromwell 
blocked. Game started off slowly while we figured out the strategies.  Halfway 
through their first possession we realized something was up. They definitely 
had backing from the pros.  It ended shortly thereafter.

The Stallions then started on their goal line. Seeking inspiration to overcome 
the Ravens backing we listened to some uplifting music from Loic's Tiger.  
Sadly neither the French National Anthem not the Italian National Anthem seemed 
to be working. Playing quarterback was not easy. Aside from my tank taking 
paint, at these close ranges the shins were taking a beating . In addition to 
avoiding the opfor you had to watch out for teammates. I myself, not my tank, 
ran into the SU100 during and end run.   

The break in the action was a 3 minute time out while the M-60 was carted off 
the field of play. Not to return. Broken leg, front idler axle . So Paul's 
Panzer II came on as a replacement. Lucky we had a player on the bench.  At one 
point I tried to go over the Semovente, did not work.  The front 3 of the 
Ravens played havoc with us the entire time. 

Finally though, a tune came over  TBS ( Tiger Broadcast System) lifted our 
spirits, yeah I was tired at this point of grinding out the first downs ,and we 
were able to tie the score.   

And  it was decided to end  the first event.
