This is a real point ,Im building a 5`6 long 1/3rd Marder that only takes two hits to kill it. I wanted to build a 4 hit tank but cant fit myself in a 1/3rd scale anything else tank . At the last UK battle I was explaining to the newbies how my tank (T051) required four hits to kill it and the

Steve wrote I'm OK with this as long as the vehicle is at least 3' long. Now here lies a small problem, lets say Frank decided on a rule change , for simplicity if nothing else. some tanks are less than 3 long, does that mean the old rules would apply to them and only them ? if so we have had a

I know what would be simple , a tank takes 4 shots to be destroyed , I do realise that Frank would have considered all of this at the process of dreaming up these rules. the rules have worked perfectly well so far ,to my knowledge at least. And I will say that a 2 hit tank can only loose 500 of

ok, so what is a tank Accordingly to the current rules it is any fully tracked vehicle, so that means an M113 is a tank, and would be stratecially an excellent choice as its only 750mm long at 1:6 scale, and can be armed with 40 shots due to variations that exist with a 75mm canon. But what
