The Leopard (T051) and Locust (T055) battle head-to-head. Not something ever seen
in the real world, but in R/C Tank Combat lots of strange encounters are normal.

The Leopard (T051) and Hetzer (T027) face off during the battle. Clearly, the Leopard
was involved in a lot of conflicts, which is not unexpected given that Neil is one of
the U.K. veterans.

Pete "demonstrates" an improper action by an artillery
operator so that the new Contest Director can practice interpretting
the rules. Interestingly, Pete is in the process of shooting his
own teammate according to the following eyewitness account:
As one KOR member confessed to another in the truck on the
way home ... placing one's hand in one's own turret and
manually pulling the trigger to commit the "friendly fire"
offence. That breaks all the rules and morals that I know
exist. I'll bet even Tyng wouldn't be that low!
Actually, Tyng would attempt something like that and it is
widely believed that Tyng is secretly mentoring Arundel.
