Or one gun could have elevation and the other gun have rotation.
All seriousness asside, I do not agree that a WWI British tank that is supposed
to have 2 side guns is legal with only 1 nose gun. if a certain tank doesn't
seem feasable or easy enough to model, then build a different tank. Th

Ryan,
There are rules for tracked vehicles and wheeled vehicles, but I'm not sure
where "rollered" vehicles will fall. We'll need a ruling on this.

Frank,
Speaking of teams, what are the teams for the 29th? Are there enough vehicles
on each side for Axis vs. Allied? Do you divide up defensive units? Pittellis
and Tyngs vs. everyone else? How many people/vehicles are expected to be there?

I don't have the rules in front of me, but it seems to me that even though a
smaller tank only takes 3 hits to kill it and a biger tank takes 4 hits to kill
it, the points awarded also reflect this- 750 and 1000 respectivly. As opposed
to saying that a kill is a kill, it might be more accurate
I've never heard the term, but it sounds dirty to me. I've heard of "more

If I assume 24 charge cycles /year (1 warship or tank battle per month
averaging 2 days each) and I get 1000 charge cycles in my SLA per Mikes
estimate below, my SLAs will last about 42 years. I don't think that I'll
last 42 years, so my SLAs are good for life.

I should point out that the Southeast meet will be a non-shooting show and tell
