Congrats on everything Caleb. We’ve not had battles in a long, long time. My tank is currently gathering cobwebs , taken apart for some upgrades, but with no battles insight , now languishes in my basement. Would love to have a reason to bring the mighty PZII out of mothballs. Maybe a spring battle? Bob Amend created a Facebook page, he’s in PA and had been trying to find battle sites.

Suffering humiliating personnel shortages after the debacle known as the Zombie War and lack of defense contracts during Trump's era of world peace left the SCC tired, short-staffed, and broke. Falling back on their trusted chicken business till things improved, the Smith Clan was able to hang on and eventually rebrand their company into the now formidable PAGin™. (Pennsylvania Agricultural Guard inc.) Using grants supposed to fund the fight against the spotted lantern fly, PAGin™ has been able to build a new compound in the hills of Pennsylvania while expanding its tank divisions with excellent armor acquired from the Afghanistan black market. Business is booming. During all this, PAGin™ has not forgotten the atrocities committed against them at the hands of Tri-Pact and their cohorts. Retaliation has been the ever present motivation. There are reports of PAGin™ possibly building a dirty bomb disguised as a shipment of bug spray, intended for delivery to Tri-Pact headquarters during their annual budget banquet. The accuracy of these reports is hard to verify as the only information available is from migrant illegal immigrants doing short term ag work for the clan on their way to NYC. Will Tri-Pact act on these reports? Will there be conflict between these warring factions yet again? Only time will tell but in the meantime PAGin™ will be sharpening their swords, ready for the day. What's up everyone? It's been a while and it's been so quiet here. Anyone out there still wanting to battle RC Tanks? These last two years have been busy ones for me but I'm happy to say I came out on the other side with a beautiful wife and a lovely piece of property in the hills of PA. I've got enough room here that we could have battles here if people want to. I'd love to host. If anyone is out there and wants to battle let me know and we'll see about keeping this hobby alive! | Back to top | You received this digest because you're subscribed to updates for this group.

[TANKS] Rookies on Parade
As already mentioned by others, what a great weekend. Lots of hiccups with our assets, but nothing that the group could not overcome. So, here are some snippets from my battle cam of the rookie vehicles in action on the field. Being home these past 2 days, seems the heat was masking a nice fever, provided much needed rest and the chance to get this video out promptly. Mon frere Jean, did try to execute the advanced training video posted early last week. Sadly, his asset was in a small ravine at the time. LOL.. Enjoy watching them in action and there are some nice video captures at the end. In one, the fuzziest, the recoil of the gun shakes the cam while you see the ball streak from the barrel. In some others, you'll see the balls suspended in flight.They were not afraid to mix it up with the veterans, kudos to all. rookies on parade final | | | | || | | | || rookies on parade final Great 2 day weekend event in Gettysburg. 4 new vehicles and 2 new artillery pieces. rookie drivers and their veh... | | | | -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Rookie primer
Since we have quite a few new rookies this event, I felt I should share some footage of some veteran advanced battle techniques. To set the stage. Game was Capture the Flag. There was an impassable river between the bases with only 1 river crossing guarded by artillery and hand held rocket launcher. You had to gain control of them first before you could venture into the OPFOR area. We had achieved that goal and had advanced into OPFOR territory. I was engaged quickly. The OPFOR vehicle already had 2 prior hits, in yellow, on it's side. His attack is shown in real time, and then in slow motion. All rookies should practice teasing the opposition by presenting the vulnerable flank and quickly removing said target as your opponents then wastes shots. advanced manuevers2 | | | | || | | | || advanced manuevers2 Capture the flag game2015 .

[TANKS] June Battle-AKA Day of the Failed Markers
limited video for this battle, forgot to turn off camera while waiting for OPFOR to get ready.. The day began quietly enough. Tanks being unloaded from their carriers, commanders preparing their palaver for the days events, you know, the normal stuff. But some of us forgot one ritual.. Burnt offering to the overseer of markers. Joe had fired up his stogy, guess we should have been downwind. Two markers gremlins appeared pre-battle. Paul's Patton was misbehaving, not sure what was wrong as I came in at the end. He had dismantled the marker and upon reassembly realized that 2 springs were missing. Luckily a strong magnet was at hand to retrieve both springs from the forest floor. Meanwhile, Frank's Semovente kept misfiring. No amount of gun oil or changing of o-rings worked. And the gun had been torn down in the off season and bench tested perfectly.. Our first casulaty of the day. Doug's Tiger decided to imitate his Axis compatriot during the first batlle, Zombie War II. Never did find out what the gun malfunction was, but we had another asset down. During the final battle, which involved controlling a river crossing ,controlling the artillery and having to capture the OPFOR flag, my Panzer II marker joined the rest. It started just after Joe"the Jersey Kneecapper" took out my left leg at 5 feet. While awaiting the medics, who never arrived, I heard some gas leaking in the turret. As I drove back to base, cold CO2 came rushing out of the barrel.My shooting part of the battle was ended. At that point I could only hope to rush the flag if we controlled the river crossing.. Vieo and pics to follow. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Final Battle
Brief rules recap: You can only score one hit on a vehicle, so it takes 4 hits from different assets to kill you. It's every man for themselves. First few minutes of video: Lesson 1. Hard to break old habits.. Right DougLOL. Lesson 2. Once that asset hits you, they might as well be your new best friend . Right Doug. Since Doug was already dead on me I ran over to his side of the field. Next section of video: Score two hits on two separate assets as they are hunting others. Since it was hard to see on the video, I blew it up. You can actually watch in slow motion as the first shot arcs onto Bad Kitty's rear flank and then the next shot explodes on Will SU100. Next snippet, long range, very hard to see Paul and his PzII between the trees. But I score a wheel hit as he runs from right to left. Since I could not score any more Paul then comes to attack me. You can see the white on the idler as he crosses in front of me. Somewhere along the next minute the camera loosened up and was facing downward. Stayed that way for the rest of the game. Then comes a better view of Paul's PZII. (Actually looks like he should already be dead, my white, 2 massive orange and what looks like yellow above the orange.) Lesson 3 then follows. As with all new scenarios, sometimes certain situations are not addressed in the initial briefing. When I reentered play following my first reincarnation( yes I died many times) I asked. Is everyone allowed to shoot at me now and am I able to target everyone? The answer was yes. Sadly Joe was not in earshot during that conversation. And, I think I have a challenging scenario for our spring event.. oct2014 free for all final oct2014 free for all final View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] First Event of the day
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. rctankfootball part one rctankfootball part one View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo 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. rctankfootball part two a rctankfootball part two a View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Gremlins of Gettysburg
They were out in force today. Navarone. not sure why -Out M-60 catastrophic idler axle failure- Out 25 Pounder - Servo elevate failure, then whole system meltdown - Out Semovente- temp screw snapped on road wheel assembly I believe- repaired PzII (mine) marker not recocking first time low voltage on 9 volt -replaced sweaty paintballs chopped in barrel, and feed area , so much sweat that the cooper feed tubes from the hopper had to be cleaned out for the new ammo to roll freely reverse thread set screw worked loose and allowed right drive to totally disengage. and the left had slightly loosened -re tightened Hetzer- unsportsmanlike conduct from Cromwell- blindside block from the rear broke the safety switch- replaced If the rest of you could add to the list please. Too many to keep track off. After the failure of my left motor at the Mullins farm, I used anti-seize compound on the drive axles and the reverse set screws. Reason: Had to destroy part of the motor to get it apart. Held up for 2 years and 12 battles. Just have to remember to check them before each days battle now. Highlight of the day:the new and improved BAZOOKA JOE.. Deadly, especially so if a Frenchman is in command of a Tiger. LOL..Well done, both to the mechanical aspects Mike, and the aiming ability of David. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] The Final Battle
Entitled hostage rescue, the Smith Clan was supposed to keep us tankers at bay. I'm not sure what happened, but it was more like we were shopping at the Hostage Superstore. The beginning shows one of Steve's many successful runs. I think the crew of the Semovente had a few too many chianti's. Knocked the roof off the house, toppled the guard tower, and almost wiped out Alpha Wolf. Paul enacted a new concept. Can't be shot at when bent over. Later Steve takes advantage of said new concept. I think it's just a bad thing waiting to happen myself. LOL. In the waning minutes of play, the final hostage,( which all of the sudden became worth more points to Joe's dismay at first) changed hands at least 3 times. Joe ended up victorious as he had possession when time ended.

[TANKS] Lost footage Part Deux
Opening scene. Pay close attention to the manipulations that young Mr. Smith must make to aim the Bofors gun. Keep that in mind when watching the 3 hits that he lays on the Semovente in the next scene. Scene two: The Semovente in action. See how the smooth traverse and elevate work as Frank lays in on his target. So intent is he, that the first tenet is forgotten. A stationary tank will get hit. Hear Frank exclaim," That Bofors is a dead guy" after he is hit 3 times by Mr. Smith The Semovente fearlessly charges into the valley of death with 3 hits on him. As he makes for the cover of the trees in reverse, looks like the death blow is dealt. Scene three: I score a hit on one of the artillery men. Mr. Smith gets my name, writes it down and draws a line through it ,then scores an "oops " shot on my upper right arm. Yes, you hear him say " Sorry", but his chuckle was way too soft for the microphone to record. LOL. Scene four: Will and his SU attempt to cross the bridge but Joe's Hetzer comes up to block the passage. lost footage part deux lost footage part deux View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

Near the end Joe slips up and mentions the cog wheel that allows the 25 to rotate so quickly. As he is firing ,the thunks you hear are the hits on the house down range. This accuracy would prove deadly to many vehicles in the battles. Good job Caleb. caleb & 25 pounder caleb & 25 pounder View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Lost footage from scenario 1
Query. What happened to the Cromwell and the Patton after they successfully crossed the bridge? Well, they met up with Papa Smith in command of T-77. First he takes on the Cromwell. Not sure exactly what takes place here, but someone is out of ammo. And the Cromwell moves off with T-79 in pursuit. Next, Paul is wandering around crying out " Where's the gold? " Sorry my brother, but such simple interrogation techniques will not work at this level of play. Possibly that shout drew some attention, as Papa Smith lays down a nice tight grouping on the flank of the Patton. Caleb was a little sad to hear that Pop's took his kill. Seems as though that team had a third tank attempt the bridge crossing. Perhaps again when the leader cried out "GO GO GO" the defenders might have been alerted to the attack. Or might not. Not only did the Hetzer take heavy fire, but so did the commander. 4 lost footage scenario 1 4 lost footage scenario 1 View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] More incursions into the compound
Altogether in the first battle there were 4 total invasions. Two in each separate events. First in was the Semovente, and then the Pz II. Then the Cromwell followed by the M-60 Patton. You can hear the fearsome Semovente war cry in this video. I think there was a mistake made when announcing in a loud voice, "I'm going in" When the Cromwell crosses the bridge the PzII was in ambush. Sadly, the gunner forgot to load the clip. Once in an deep in the compound, the M-60 Patton invades. They had 2 tanks in at the same time. What do these invasions all have in common you might ask? None of them got the gold Thank you Maggie of Church Creek for your favorable comment on yesterday's release Credits for yesterday's film.

[TANKS] Battle footage
Had some time to sort through the video. Here we have the successful run by T-79 into the enemy compound to retrieve the gold. You'll see the dangerous Pak front, Bofors, 25 pounder and the Navarone. Those men laid down some deadly interlocking fire. Notice the outline of the bridge. That was the only way in and out of the compound. As I made my approach I waited for the fore support to arrive. And then quickly dashed over the bridge and into the compound. Waited for the fire support to knock out Caleb's gun and then bolted for the bridge. The approaches to the bridge were slick, perhaps with the blood of the enemy gunners ,and I spun out briefly. Finally got some traction and I was off to safety. Hope you enjoy the movie. panzerII run for glory 2014 aug panzerII run for glory 2014 aug View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Beware the S.C.C.
A new force arrived at today's event. The Smith (nom de guerre) Combat Clan initially showed no interest in participating, save for Caleb and his 25 pound anti-tank gun. " No sir, we'd rather not." they chimed in unison. Then,"Okay if we must, we will play".. It was all a Pennsylvania ruse!!!. Brothers Isaac and Joshua manned the Bofors and Navarone while brother Caleb operated his new arty. THEY LIT US UP MAN. It was brutal. Shots rained from every direction. Heard Caleb say " Gotcha inna little crossfire, how you like dat? " Even when using high speed evasive maneuvers, hits came out of no where. Oh the inhumanity. After the clan left for home, the executive veterans quorum were heard to mumble something about a new rule ..I believe it is to be named the Caleb clause. This reporter was not privy to it's details, but I think it might have something to due with placement of the arty gunners.. Again, this is only second hand hearsay ,but on a chain around the waist I think was the sentence.LOL. Papa Brian commanded T-77. Sadly for him, firing gremlins abounded. But he did well for a rookie driver. Obviously we all had a great day. Stay tuned for video. We have tons to sift through. Sister of the clan, sorry did not get her name , ran video on my camera, Chris was also filming. And we have battle cam from my PzII and the Semovente. Stu came up looking for ideas to incorporate into his future productions. Steve said, and I agree, yes that's true, it was one of the most enjoyable battling days. Weather and scenarios were perfect.

[TANKS] Designation for Caleb
Frank, I think Caleb needs to be designated as FA008. I think you may have missed his request in his build thread.. Plenty of pics and video in the thread. Just saying.

[TANKS] Time to get ready Act 2
More from that first battle session. The dialog is hilarious. Pay attention to when it dawns on Frank there is an unholy alliance , temporarily, of tanks versus artillery. Later, watch as Pauls PzII wades into a hailstorm of hurt. Love the dance. LOL. I forgot that this battle was the debut for 3 new assets. Mike's Swedish S Tank and his Spartan supply vehicle.. Wickedly fast!!! And T-79, my beloved Abomination, PzII Ausf J.

[TANKS] Time to get ready
With four weeks till the next battle, I thought it would be a good time to pulish some new video. Courtesy of Chris, Mr. Slipway, we have footage from the June 2 and 3 battles of 2012. This first section is the first half of Battle #1. Some nice closeups of the Swedish S Tank, the Conn Tiger, Cromwell, PzII, Paul's, and the artillery. I have 3 more hours of footage to go through. So, maybe another 6 vids. Chris did some very nice camera work. It's good to have a different perspective from the tank level for a change.

[TANKS] It sure was a hectic day
This is a single-part message not in MIME format. --M8D1435B582_1B0C_130594 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable All who have participated in a battle, with any of the assets, will tell you it is a very hectic environment. Picking friend from foe, following the strategy, or just free lancing, makes no difference. It's crazy man. So, I've attempted to portray the craziness with my latest video. In the left frame you'll see the debut of the FOA Tiger operated by Tyng Tech. I think that the MAG anti-laser paint job did the job that R&D promised. LOL. P.S. Mr. Tyng, the bill of $35.00 for use of our premium paintball construction gaffers tape remains open. Please contact our account manager.

[TANKS] Man Down
As we all know, paintball is a sometimes painful sport. We start the clip with some long range action against Will's SU100. Watch closely and you'll see the shot explode on his tank. That was the kill hit, he already had 3 on his tank. Next , I engage the other PzII . It was being operated by Noah, of the Clan Martay. He thought that the rise was protecting him, but as he retreats you'll see the evidence of the 3 hits. Going for the kill I whirled around the tree and snapped off a round. Sadly, a bit high. Sorry about that Noah. He shook it off, and play resumed. Man Down Man Down View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Fox and Hounds excerpts
Thought you might like a look at the fox and hounds. First clip. I am one of the hounds, Frank one of the foxes. Given the tally-ho signal I venture up the open area to attack the fox. However, seems the fox was not where indicated and I was properly ambushed. After a brief paint check, I was somewhat given an opportunity to resume. What follows is some exciting high speed evasive techniques. ( Performed by a stunt professional, please don't try this at home) Sadly , the Tiger Fox still put the final two shots on my hound. foxhunting the hound foxhunting the hound View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo Second clip. I'm one of the foxes. My cub, Caleb, did not listen and strayed from the den and was quickly dispatched. Safely tucked away in the den, I watched and listened with amusement at the hunt. At one point, far in the distance, the baying hounds turned on each other. So, I practiced the fine controls on the new rotate and elevate systems. http://youtu.be/-vVgYw6PG8I -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] NEWS FLASH: BAD KITTY HAS CLAWS
Yes fellow tankers it TRUE. Bad Kitty showed her claws today. Scored at least 2 unassisted kills today. And was on the field all day. This reporter is not sure how it happened or why, but it did happen. Here are a few of the theories that were floated. 1. Rocketman shed at least 40 pounds. Of equipment that is. No longer encumbered by the astronaut style backpack allowed the feline to be more nimble and be able to access more secluded areas of the battlefield. 2. Replacing the Wi-Fi system was a product from Cheap Control Systems. That's right, Bad Kitty was sporting a C12C Rocketman when interviewed at lunch stated, yes that was an interview Doug, " Well, it's not a flexible as the puter when it comes to changing various limits, but, it's a heck of a lot lighter". 3. MAG jamming of Wi-Fi signals was therefore rendered useless. This reporter seemed to get the idea that having fewer options with which to tinker allowed Bad Kitty's driver to only have to drive, aim and fire. Nicely done Doug.. Please, please don't practice. We cannot afford to have Bad Kitty show her fangs also. LOL. Vern "We make the news" Dernberger -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
