I put it to the Americans that the girlies on your side of the pond had a much softer experience than on ours. Invincibility was short-lived. In the second battle, Tracy took control of the Comet Bunker (which was guarded by soldiers) and all opposing tanks understood the need to keep her firepower suppressed by shooting the guards repeatedly. Tracy and April were treated as equals on the battlefield, including the typical taunting that comes with such a position. Frank P. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Re: Glass Ceiling
I have just read in the Glass Ceiling battle I report :- "it was decided that the artillery operators would simply walk back to home base themselves when more ammo was needed. Furthermore, we allowed the artillery to be invincible (no guard soldiers) to "give the rookies a chance". Well things sound like the US girlies enjoyed an easy time of it , Our Claire was the only girl at the event and never asked nor were offered to be in command of an "invincible" Field Artillery piece . I put it to the Americans that the girlies on your side of the pond had a much softer experience than on ours. We could put this down to the high level of gentlmanship that you MAG boys possess. This is to be commended.

And Frank , you were the first to "publicly" properly document your achievement :-) did you ever hear about the lesser known British moon landings of 1968 ? To be fair , Claire said she much preferred to "drive a SV and collect things" ( I consider that tidying up) than be in charge of something that shoots.

Nope, Claire was in charge of the Valentine - although it was operating as a fixed artillery piece because the wheels were away being machined . . .
