R/C Tank Combat

Battle Reports

In anticipation of a larger Northern European conflict expected in May 2008, a couple of veteran members met on a goat farm to battle their tanks for the first time. They learned a lot about what it takes to keep tanks battling and also how much fun can be had even with technical problems. No goats were harmed during the event.

The first official European tank battle pitted three English gentlemen against each other in the soggy countryside. Despite some mechanical failures, vehicles were destroyed, mission points were earned and fun was had by all.

The first un-official European battle was waged today in a junkyard between two light tanks. Although the tanks don't qualify under the construction rules to be officially designated, they definitely portray the spirit of the hobby and provide just as much fun.

Anvilus Machine Works announced that it would be providing Marlow & Son with a new supply vehicle leasing agreement to replace the aging M520 Goer provided by Tri-Pact Trucking. The local teamsters union and the shady Pittelli family threatened to make trouble, possibly resulting in an all out conflict in the Anvilus neighborhood.

A shocking development threatens to turn the R/C Tank Combat world on end with the possibility of a bloody civil war in the Maryland area. Although details are sketchy, it has been confirmed that a large faction of battlers in the Maryland area have vowed to overthrow the current regime on June 9-10 in Waldorf, Maryland.

As summer ends and the leaves begin to fall what better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons than with an all out war!!! On October 28-29, the Maryland Attack Group hosted Fall Brawl 2006 in St. Charles, Maryland pitting wily veterans against an ever increasing group of crafty rookies, in some of the closest and most destructive battles fought to date.

Members of the Maryland Attack Group grew increasingly concerned that Mr. Tyng may have been subjected to various mind altering substances during his visit to The Netherlands. To that end, the Maryland Attack Group hosted an intervention for Mr. Tyng on Saturday, June 17th, in St. Charles, Maryland. The intervention drew together over a dozen close friends skilled in various techniques of "paint therapy".

Playing a board game might be fun, especially if you can conquer the world, but battling on a real battlefield is so much more fun. Paintballs fly and a record number of tanks show up for the first battle of the season in Maryland.

The Maryland Attack Group is the most powerful R/C tank combat group in the world, but that doesn't mean they don't have their own internal problems. What started as an annual financial meeting/retreat soon became a heated battle over how corporate funds should be used. After the dust (and paint) had settled, a new era of financial responsibility would begin.

As the world's sole R/C Tank Combat super-power, the Maryland Attack Group has pursued a relentless quest for "peace through superior fire-power". But, many industry experts believe that a difference of direction within the MAG leadership could lead to a major conflict within the group, possibly even a civil war.

Under a bright sun, 85 degrees and high-humidity, the Maryland Attack Group hosted a day of battling at the Essex Skypark. Two one-hour battles were held with plenty of action, a number of mechanical failures and lots of destruction. Ironically, the Essex-natives, Frank, John and Paul fared the worse throughout the day, suffering many defeats (perhaps the choice of "Bluebirds" as a team name had something to do with it).

Every spring, after the long, cold winter, battlers crawl out of their workshops to display their newborn vehicles and the throw off the effects of hibernation. The ensuing battles are worth the wait.

A big part of the fun of building R/C tank combat vehicles is showing them off to lots of people. The AAF Tank Museum in Danville, Virginia asked the R/C Tank Combat hobby to demonstrate our unique capabilities at their Spring Military Extravaganza on March 19-20, 2005. An obstacle course and firing range were set up to allow spectators and battlers to compete for prizes, along with a static display of various tanks, armored cars, support vehicles and artillery pieces.

One of the pioneers of the hobby will be taking a sabaticcal next year to cruise the canals of Europe (yep, he'll be riding a slow boat to France!!) In order to send him off in style, the Maryland Attack Group hosted a one day battle in St. Charles, Maryland.

In an effort to bring freedom to the people of upstate New York, the Maryland Attack Group sent a large, heavily armed force to the region as part of Operation Coxsackie Freedom. They were opposed by members of Al Quesy, radical academic insurgents determined to strike fear into the local population in order to undermine their fledgling democracy.

As the result of increased threats from Pennsylvania and Virginia, the Maryland Attack Group announced that it would pursue military actions in the form of pre-emptive strikes to safeguard "The Land of Pleasant Living". The result was the largest R/C tank combat battle held to date, pitting advanced combat systems and veteran battlers against each other.

Two powerhouses of the R/C TankCombat world battled it out for dominance of the hobby. Did the Tyng Regime's advanced technology rule the day or did Tri-Pact's numerical and economic superiority triumph again?

The First Annual Tyng Invitational was held in St. Charles, Maryland on a nearly perfect battlefield. The long-awaited meeting would pit the advanced technology of the Tyng Regime against the numerically superior Tri-Pact forces in The Battle For Middle Maryland.

The first R/C Tank Combat shots have been fired and we're happy to report that the ground war is well underway. Read how the battle was waged and how well the systems worked.
