You see Chris, you need to make travel arrangements for the next battle, and 
GET YOUR ASS DOWN THERE!!

If you can't get the Tiger up and running, at least you can help in the 
photodocumentation of the next event!!

Then, you could be taking the clips, instead of pining to see them...

  can we expect to see more pictures and video links added to the report page?

  as for Bazooka Joe, that is the first time i saw any images of him and i have 
to say, Lee Major's would be upset seeing he couldn't do 60 mph on his own.

  i think it's pretty cool looking and would love to see video of him in action 
- maybe a short clip of him firing at a tank and hitting it?

[TANKS] Re: A Bridge too Far

[Mike Lyons]

Google Groups is not behaving.  I tried to reply to my first message and it 
deleted it.
Apologies for any duplicate messages.

*Bazooka Joe's Debut*

I had Bazooka Joe 
operational around 2am so 
I hit the sack for a few hours, took care of a 
family commitment, and hit the road eager to put Joe into action.  Two 
hours later I had gone about 3 miles (Washington area traffic + accident = 
gridlock) and eventually arrived after the first battle had ended.

After sides had been picked (Joe was picked last, only fair for an unknown 
quantity) the RCTC Rules Committee voted unanimously (1-0) to approve a 
"one shot, one kill" rule for Joe for the second battle.  I liked this idea 
as I couldn't imagine how I would be able to get multiple shots loaded and 
fired against a mobile tank.

As seen from our home 
basethere
 was a 
wide stone 
bridgeon
 the left flank, a 
narrow wooden 
bridgein
 the center, and a 
shallow 
fordon
 the right.  
The Navarone Gun was set up to cover the center bridge and I positioned Joe 
in some broad-leafed plants on the right side of the stone bridge (on the 
right edge of the photo).  On the far side the road went straight for about 
5 yards then turned right.  There was a narrow goat track running parallel 
to the stream on the far side, joining the road very close to the bridge.

There was a pot of gold in the center of the bridge so I took a few 
practice shots to get an idea of the range.  This was the first time I had 
fired a paintball from the assembled unit, and I was pleased to get in the 
general area after a handful of shots.

When the battle started there was a lot of action in the center.  Joe 
brought his Hetzer down to the bridge and collected the pot of gold with no 
resistance.  After a few minutes Frank's Tiger came clanking along the road 
from the rear right.  As he turned my way I lined up for a flanking shot – 
it was straight but high by a couple of feet.  It's a lot harder to judge 
the elevation on the short bazooka than on the long guns.  I reloaded 
quickly but Frank was approaching front-on and I had no shot.  It didn't 
take long for him to score the first hit ever on an armed infantryman, 
knocking Joe' helmet flying.  I only found it while cleaning up at the end 
of the day, about 3 feet from this position.

Later Frank approached more cautiously, creeping through the long grass 
between the road and the goat track.  Again I had no shot as he presented 
only his front.  He landed a nice shot from about 15 feet away.

After reincarnating again I moved Joe across the bridge to the junction of 
the road and the track.  Things were quiet for a while so I tried a couple 
of long shots into the area behind the center bridge.  I didn't hit 
anything (too high again) but it sure caused confusion for the enemy 
commanders over there.  It also attracted the attention of the Cromwell.  Steve 
worked his way along the goat track and showed me only a brief side shot 
for a moment - I took the shot but was wide by a few inches.  While I tried 
to reload the Cromwell raced up and blew Joe away.

After being killed by Frank yet again (and accidentally hitting him square 
in the chest – sorry!), there was a long time with no action (I later 
learned most of my comrades were in the repair shop) I relocated to the 
enemy's side of the battlefield, setting up close to the big tree shown 
here
.  Doug's Tiger was circling Turncoat Tyng's Cromwell about 30 feet away.  I 
took my time to line up a shot and splattered Doug's rear – one shot, one 
kill!  A successful debut, breaking even on combat points and sharing in a 
small number of mission points for a net positive result.

Re: [TANKS] Re: A Bridge Too Far-the photos

[Dave D.]

Hey John,

Yes, thanks for letting us get a taste of the Abomination's awesome abilities!! 

Had a fun time, had fun sharing the Bofors duties with Stu.  I think we did a 
fair amount of terrorizing those poor kids manning the Navarrone!!  I know I 
killed the "command post" (outhouse) and its inhabitant at least once!!  Thank 
you Doug, for making that all happen.  My only regret was not taking any video 
of the day's events, I think my head was swimming in all the festivities.  I'll 
definitely take some footage next time.

AND I'm all amped up for the October battle, thanks for that heads up!!  

Stu and I both found the APG to be a "temple"!!  He immediately went to work on 
the two Shermans sitting at the edge of the small parking lot.  He was quiet 
busy with sketches and measurement when I arrived.

We then made the rounds, I stopped at the Jagdpanther for some nagging 
measurements-mostly the wheels-sprocket.  Then it was off to the JS-III for a 
more in-depth round of measurement.  Now it's "simply" a matter of drawing up a 
set of plans, then git 'er started and git 'er dun!!  Definitely psyched!!

[TANKS] Re: A Bridge too Far

[TyngTech]

It was a glorious day for a battle.  The Mullin field is one of the best 
we've ever battled on.  Hills, streams, bogs and bridges, it doesn't get 
any better than that!  Turns out that the Cromwell is a BOG BEAST!  The 
second battle required that we collect "gold" containers from along the 
creek.  Many of the containers were placed in areas you'd normally wear hip 
waders to get to and we had to drive our tanks into that to get the gold.  
The Cromwell ate the muck and cattails for lunch.

The first battle was capture the flag and I was teamed up with John, Joe 
and Will.  Our first flag capture (we captured it three times), John had 
already retrieved the flag but was being chased up a hill behind the enemy 
camp.  I was out of ammo and had three hits already.  For the team, I 
decided what the hell and ran up the hill, tapping John's tank lightly to 
let him know I was there (more like a hard ram), and parking myself between 
John and Frank.  While absorbing all that Frank could throw at me, Paul 
threw a long range shot from the bottom of the hill and hit my turret side, 
I was out.  I figured John would be following me shortly to a reincarnate 
but it turned out he was able to get away and bring the flag home.  The 
second flag capture was a straight speed run by the Cromwell too and back.  
The plan was for the Cromwell to hold back, hidden, and to make for the 
flag when the other team went to engage our teams diversionary flank 
attacks.  Joe went left, sucking Frank in that direction, John and Will 
went right, taking Paul and Doug away from the objective, leaving poor 
Tracy alone with the Bofors to defend their flag.  At this point the 
Cromwell made the dash straight for the bridge and to the flag, dodging a 
hail of fire from Tracy and back the same way.  Somewhere along the run I 
managed to get my shoe pretty muddy, but I remembered I had that flag and 
just before handing it back, wiped the mud off with it.  The third capture 
was pretty much the same thing but I had to run up the hill behind the 
enemy camp to elude Doug's charging Tiger and then back to base.  This old 
tank driver isn't as spry as I used to be so I drove the Cromwell home to 
our base from the enemy base.

The second battle was one-sided as Joe and Will had broken down leaving a 
lone John to defend.  After having taken most of the gold and cows, I did a 
Benedict Arnold and traded sides to help out John.  By this time John had 
lost a drive wheel nut and time was just about out so that was the day.

I want to thank the Mullin family for hosting.  They did a great job and 
even provided valet service, hauling gear and equipment to and from the 
battle field with their ATV.  I noted a lot of people taking video so I'm 
looking forward to those YouTube links shortly.

Best of luck to all those attending the battle this weekend.
If I were located within striking distance of the East Coast ( New England 
as we used to call it ) Id make the most of this fantastic opportunity.

  For anybody wanting to come in from out of town, I have a couple of 
guestrooms available.  I'm an hour south of the battlefield.

If you plan on being in the Maryland area during that time, let us know 
and we'll pass along the directions.   We always have plenty of spare
