RE: [TANKS] Re: free paper model of the German A7V tank

ok, so what is a "tank" Accordingly to the current rules it is any fully tracked vehicle, so that means an M113 is a tank, and would be stratecially an excellent choice as its only 750mm long at 1:6 scale, and can be armed with 40 shots due to variations that exist with a 75mm canon. But what

[TANKS] Re: free paper model of the German A7V tank

I know what would be simple , a tank takes 4 shots to be destroyed , I do realise that Frank would have considered all of this at the process of dreaming up these rules. the rules have worked perfectly well so far ,to my knowledge at least. And I will say that a 2 hit tank can only loose 500 of th

I agree, perhaps something like this. tanks over 3' - 4 shots tanks under 3' - 3 shots tanks under 2.5' - 2 shots armored cars over 3' - 3 shots armored cars under 3' - 2 shots armored cars under 2' - 1 shot support vehicles over 3' - 2 shots (if armored) support vehicles under 3' - 1 shot support

Steve wrote > "I'm OK with this as long as the vehicle is at least 3' long." Now here lies a small problem, lets say Frank decided on a rule change , for simplicity if nothing else. some tanks are less than 3" long, does that mean the old rules would apply to them and only them ? if so we have had

Re: [TANKS] Re: free paper model of the German A7V tank

So, give tracked tanks 4 hits and wheeled combat vehicles (Strykers, LAVs, armored cars, etc.) 2 or 3 hits. On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 9:57 AM, Steve Tyng wrote: > I'm OK with this as long as the vehicle is at least 3' long.  No > reason in giving Mr. Sims and his Quadracycle any more advantages! >

This is a real point ,Im building a 5`6" long 1/3rd Marder that only takes two hits to kill it. I wanted to build a 4 hit tank but cant fit myself in a 1/3rd scale anything else tank . At the last UK battle I was explaining to the newbies how my tank (T051) required four hits to kill it and the Ma

There are many tanks I would've considered, but wanted the 4 hits and 40 shots. I would definately love to have a Bradley also. Derek On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 7:07 PM, wrote: > Maybe even give all tanks four hits regardless of real life armor > thickness. That would let people build whatever k

Re: [TANKS] Re: free paper model of the German A7V tank

Maybe even give all tanks four hits regardless of real life armor thickness. That would let people build whatever kind of tank they wanted without a penalty and simplify the rules a little. One of the things that steered me away from a Bradley was that I didn't want a 3-hit tank.    - Doug

[TANKS] Re: free paper model of the German A7V tank

The A7V would make for an easy vehicle to build. The issue is that at a max armor of 30mm it only counts as a lightweight under the rules making it an easy kill at only two hits. Maybe the founder would consider a rules update basing defensive ratings on the tank's role for it's time period inste
