Hi! Really like the way you think, probably because we think alike, at least in terms of this subjst at any rate. Would love to see special events, for just tanks, but as in anything else, there would have to be some ground rules. All tanks or Light Assault Vehicles would have to fall into one of two or three classes. Weight, power, track or wheeled, crew capacity being the most logical factors. As for types of rounds, the ones being made by Marty Tippmann (Tippmann Ordnance), for use by the miltiary, have it all over anything else I've seen. With an accurate range of close to 800 yards, they're incredible. Used as mortar rounds, they regularly hit targets out to 450 yds. Of course 20 ounces is a lot of weight and it's no wonder that they're only being used by people at places like Knox and Bragg and not at events like D-Day, or anywhere else that I'm aware of. Still, in a tank on tank game I'd see something like this being the standard issue ammo for everyone. Your thoughts and comments are most welcome. Andy Van Der Plaats, aka 'Dorsai'
