Right now there is no
fire delays or speed restrictions in the hobby. This was purposely done
to not stifle innovation. In the future if it's the groups consensus to
give fire delays a try I'm OK with that BUT we need a decent sized group of
battlers for a meaningful consensus. So come one guys, lets get some
tanks built! Endless discussions of technical minutiae that I've
been reading of late is not getting any tanks on the battlefield.
I challenge all in the Mid Atlantic
region (USA) to have a vehicle ready for the 08 spring battle! If you
think you may have "performance" issues, I will deliberately downgrade the
Cromwell's specs to equal the slowest newcomer on the battlefield (at least
for one battle ;-). If somebody shows up with something quicker and
badder than the Cromwell, so much the better.
What's been missing
from this list for the past couple of years is some good old fashioned smack
talk. So what do you say you endless tech talkers? Are you going
to give your keyboards a much needed rest and get your arse's into the
workshop? Are you wannabe tank warriors going to stop drooling over
what's been built and get your own gleaming paint spewing monsters on the
field of honor and kick some veteran ass? Are you going to let
young Chris down in Australia who's built himself an entire tank division show
you guys up or are you going to just keep dreaming of building that
tank? AND I am very disappointed with all but one of the Dutch TNT
members. Come on Siggy, WJ, and the others, you have let a half insane
part time soap opera actor show you up in the tank building department!
Shame, shame, shame on you.... ;-)
So who's going to be
the first to step and say, "Hey Tyng, I'll be there in the spring and kick you
and your POS Cromwell all over the field"?
