Re: [TANKS] Gremlins of Gettysburg
I'll be out of town this weekend and next, so maybe not soon. But, battlers who attended are always free to post stories in their own words to the group. That way, the stories are not affected by media bias and are easily incorporated by the editor into the final battle report to be used by historians around the world for generations to come.

Re: [TANKS] Gremlins of Gettysburg
Bad Kitty Drive chain slipped off motor - repaired during lunch Broken elevation servo saver - Frank knocked the tower over, it fell on my barrel, and broke my elevation system. I was able to get the elevation limping along for the afternoon battle.
