With governments around the world in tail-spins because of over-spending and mis-management it falls on the private sector to carry more of the responsibilities to safeguard society. So, when terrorist elements were holding hostages in a remote province of Pennsylvania (just over the Maryland border) it fell on the shoulders of two private contractors to come to the rescue. Save the hostages, wipe out the enemy, make some cash. God Bless America. See Private War for battle reports, photos and video.
Land Sharks could cause havoc on a battlefield full of infantry, but don't cause much concern for armored vehicles. UK battlers use the chance to clear the air of office politics. See Moors Marderes for battle reports and photos.
The latest flare of unrest in the UK took place in a picturesque town where a strange breed of fighting machines roamed the country-side. The battle has come to be called "Burton Upon Trent, Otto's Freedom Fighters" or "BUT,OFF" for short. See Burton upon Trent for battle reports, photos and video.
R/C Tank Combat has long been dominated by battlers of the male persuasion, but that Glass Ceiling was shattered on this day when two women joined the fray and laid waste to any vehicle that dared to cross their paths. They weren't just sending lots of pink paint down-range, they were shooting at anything that moved and hitting enough things to make everyone take notice. See Glass Ceiling for battle reports, photos and video.
Albert Tacklebottom has been sent by the Funky Tank Foundry Managing Director to Surrey to find the "chosen one". The "one" who will bring everlasting hope ... the hope of many more years of war in the UK. See War In The Woods II for battle reports, photos and video.
The FTF has had to suffer a most disastrous event. Once proud foundry workers are now forced to lower their heads and admit defeat as the new HQ has been shown to be far less secure than once belived. Three opportunist tank commanders (two complete newbies) saw their chance to strike at the mighty Funky Foundry and succeeded beyond their dreams. Read about the battle details and view photos at Anarchy In The UK.

The titanic corporate struggle on May 2 resulted in a virtual stalemate between two business giants, Maryland-based Tri-Pact Global Industries, LLC (TPGI) and Pennsylvania-based YomamaDyne Technologies, Inc. (YT). Unable to secure sufficient financing to buy-out YT at that time, TPGI issued a PDQ RFI to help determine the ROI needed to secure the proper APR. With those results in hand, TPGI decided to go back to the negotiating battlefield for a second round of "discussions". This time, however, TPGI was be assisted by outside counsel from the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum and Howe, who also represents the Vegas Alliance, an affiliate of TPGI with a shady history. See Corporate Takeover for battle reports, photographs and video.
With governments around the globe focused solely on the economic turmoil that they helped to create, corporate leaders are essentially on their own to make their way through the economic minefield and lead their companies to greener pastures. With that in mind, it should be no surprise to our regular readers that two of the most powerful corporations in the R/C Tank Combat world are once again squaring off. On or about May 2, 2009 at 10am Maryland-based Tri-Pact Global Industries, LLC (TPGI) will undertake a hostile takeover of the Pennsylvania-based YomamaDyne Technologies, Inc (YT). Unlike most corporate takeovers, however, which are negotiated in the boardroom, this takeover will be negotiated on the battlefield. See Corporate Takeover for more details.
After the Chelmsford Conflict, there was little we could do. We were short of supplies, and more importantly, firepower. A dire situation for most of us. And then the order came to start withdrawing. Forces were spread thinly and we needed to regroup. We started retreating, towards the South-West at first, but we met resistance time and time again. It was now the start of September, and the leaves were beginning to turn. All that we knew was that before too long, we would be back out there, battling against the King's Own Regiment, fighting for freedom. See October Revolution for battle reports, video and photos.
