The R/C Tank Combat hobby isn't just about building scale models that
shoot paintballs, it's also about the teamwork required to build and
operate a successful fighting force. Individual battlers get wiped out
easily ... well-coordinated teams thrive and survive.
Having looked at the main site I wanted to join a UK team but there is
