not having battled before, I obviously cant comment on how difficult it is to operate a tank in battle, but I think it would be great to experiement with a "forced" two-radio option, and have one person driving, another controlling the gun, and possibly a third who actually gives the orders (com

i was just out in the garage giving the old mantle a good going over - looking to see how i'll want it all to fit together in the end with the new one. while looking, i put the marker in the turret to check further on the fit of things, and took notice that the relocated air line (moved from

What if a guy had two radios. One that controled the tracks, and the other runs the gun and turret. There would be two operators, a driver and gunner. Would that be an unfair advantage? Would it fit the rules? I ended up with 2 radios and my daughter wants to come to the up comming battle. Mark
