Default News from the Battlefront

Here at the Danville battlefield, AAF Museum, the air is smoky (from vap clouds) and the tension is high (many young testosterone laced boys).

The T-90 Battlecam roams the field as recon behind the lines...

More to come

Danville is one of the few things I miss from US. Had some great times there with great comradery and intense battles. It's too long a drive for me to make now, 7700 miles in a straight line.

Come to San Diego for vacation and enjoy the weather here in summer. We will schedule a battle for you. Its not a highly detailed field like Danville, but we have lots of space and awesome battles.

Few more pics...

About 30 tankers there, more kids than I ever remember - and they are good.

Vids forthcoming after some editing.

That is one of the battle field props. It is a static kit.

Really appreciate the film clips "Heavyaslead". Attending is definitely on my bucket list. You've stirred the fire.

Do you have IR in the T90? I just got the HL T90 and would like to put the Tamiya IR into it. Looking for some info on that route. I'll start a separate thread so as not to hijack this one.

Thanks for the videos and pics, and I'm glad you had fun.
I remember you coming a few years back, mostly because I remember the black Eagle tank and what a pain it was to hit!
There are several pairs of fathers and sons that attend regularly, including Will and Jesse, Will and Wyatt, Tom and Bently... etc etc
The H*E*A*T events are good for newbies, esp for kids, as the TFA is a little easier to get used to than the stock apple.

Hope you can come agin soon.

Default TBS Mirror

The TFA makes sense to me as the front (turret face) of the tank is supposed to be the strongest armor point which is well represented with TFA battles.

Of course a side and rear penetration should be easy.

Ideally we need a triangle shaped mirror like the one shown would represent tanks better - I think I will try that and see how it works!
