Re: tank combat rules [TANKS]

Sorry, what vehicle are you building and we can help you figure out the 1/6 scale length?  Alternatively what scale will make the vehicle 36" in length.  An example would be my Abrams in the planning stages (won't start on it until I get one of the other tanks I have finished).  At 1/6 scale the tank will be 52" long.  That is a big hunk o'tank.  If you don't want your tank that big you could build it to 1/8 scale which would make it 39" long.  That 39" long would meet the length requirement.

The basic rule is to build it to 1/6 scale from the original vehicle or whatever scale gets you to the 36" length requirement.  If you build to the 1/6 scale rule, the vehicle doesn't necessarily have to meet the 36" rule as long as it is 1/6th scale.
